SOME PAST AUTHOR EVENTS

Author Karen Schoemer, reading from "Great Pretenders: My Strange love affair with 50's Pop Music"

"Full of humor, insight and unflinchingly honest, Great Pretenders explores the intersections or our private lives and pop culture, and broadens our understanding of a crucial moment in our history."

Author Anne Landsman, reading from her novel "The Rowing Lesson"
Described by JM Coetzee as, "An elegy for a lost father and a beloved world on the point of disappearing. Rarely in South African writing will we encounter language of such fire and passion," The Rowing Lesson promises to be one of the most exciting releases of the fall season.

Book Signing With Chavisa Woods

Love Does Not Make Me Gentle or Kind focuses on formative moments in the tumultuous lives of young women, mostly set in the "transient realms" of rural America. Says icon Jennifer Blowdryer, "Chavisa's stories are definitely written from an American Outsider perspective. She's a writer who watches, waits, and thinks for herself, bringing us close to the infernal life of the Americanly Ignorant and the articulate seer who lurks among them."

We are honored to host this event and will send out notification when we have the details figured out. Check out her website for excerpts and additional information.
