Spring 2009 update

We’ve hosted some great author appearances recently, and signed books are still available at 10% off retail price. Carrie Vaughn signed her 5th Kitty-the-werewolf book (Kitty and the Dead Man’s Hand) on Super Bowl Sunday, and we had a good crowd anyway, so there. She’ll be signing her 6th Kitty book, Kitty Goes to Hell on Sunday, March 1, at 3:00. She’ll be joined then by Mario Acevedo with Jailbait Zombie, his 5th in the series about Felix-the-vampire-PI. Check out their great web sites at www.carrievaughn.com and www.marioacevedo.com.

On Sunday, February 8th we hosted 4 writers who are classified as romance authors, but whose books are all very different and genre-crossing. We had a lot of fun.
Robin Owens discussed and signed Echoes in the Dark, the last in her Summoner series (Robin’s won many awards for her books.)
Lynda Hilburn signed Vampire Shrink and Dark Harvest. (A local therapist, Lynda writes about a psychologist who gets caught up in the supernatural underworld.)
Melissa Mayhue signed A Highlander of Her Own, the 4th in her series with a time travel element. (Thirty Nights with a Highland Husband was a Colorado Book Award finalist.)
Elaine Levine presented her thrilling debut novel, Rachel and the Hired Gun, a historical western romance.

On February 15 and April 5, we’ll be hosting Colorado Homegrown Tales as this troupe of actors presents dramatic readings of stories by Colorado authors. Both performances are at 6 p.m., and admission is $10. Don’t miss these; different stories and different actors each evening.
