The Pigeon Wants a Puppy!

<p>Join us in welcoming local Science Fiction author Bonnie K.T. Dillabough to the store today! She'll be here discussing and signing her books from 12 pm-5 pm, so be sure to stop by and get your books signed!<br /><br />About the Author:<br />To write or not to write has never been the question&hellip;<br /><br />She wrote her first 26 line poem at age 8, entitled &ldquo;My Christmas ABCs&rdquo;. She then memorized it and performed it for the church Christmas party. This wasn&rsquo;t terribly surprising. She started reading before Kindergarten and Dr. Seuss was one of her favorite authors, so rhyme came very naturally to her. She has been writing all of her life, as long as she can remember. A lot of poetry, short stories and, of course, the usual school reports. she always got high grades on her writing assignments, even when she didn&rsquo;t in other classes, simply because she loved to write.<br /><br />Then, adulthood set in. Always a voracious reader, she dreamt of writing a novel, but got gloriously side-tracked with a wonderful husband and six amazing children. During that time, she still wrote: Musical plays for her kids at church and school, songs, poetry and even an occasional newspaper article streamed from her pen.<br /><br />Then, she got involved in jobs that required clear concise writing and a lot of marketing copy. She put up her first website in 1996 and made her living on the internet for over 20 years, writing everything from blog posts to sales copy to scripts for online videos, not to mention copy for the websites she built for her clients.<br /><br />Now, at age 65 she has finally published the first novel in an ongoing series. &ldquo;The House on Infinity Loop&rdquo; is the first book in a trilogy that will become just the first part of the Dimensional Alliance series.<br /><br />When she is not writing, she likes to read, crochet hats for the homeless and gifts for friends and family, is active in her church and looks forward to being very involved with the fans of her books from her website: DimensionalAllianceHeadquarters.com.<br /><br />About The House on Infinity Loop:<br /><br />A cat who is not a cat. A key that doesn't fit anything and an impossible door that leads Jenny to adventures beyond the known universe. Join Jenny as she steps from the workaday world into the amazing realms of the multiverse, only to find the fate of everything she holds dear in her hands.<br /><br />Jenny discovers that nothing is what it seems to be...even Jenny.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />This is the exciting first book in The Dimensional Alliance Series. Get ready for exciting twists and turns and step through the impossible door into infinite adventure saving the multiverse from ultimate evil and slavery.&nbsp; Get the whole set!</p><p></p><p></p>

Book Rec. Night @ Barnes & Noble

<p>Join us on July 8th when local author Rob Phillips stops by to celebrate his newest book, <strong><em>Cascade Manhunt</em></strong>!</p><p>About the book:</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;outline:0px;margin-bottom:1rem;font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:14px;background-color:#ffffff;">After continuous complaints that a poaching ring is running rampant in northeastern Washington, Fish &amp; Wildlife police officer Luke McCain is assigned to go undercover to infiltrate the gang. Just as Luke and his fellow officers move to finally catch the poachers red-handed, one of the crooks flees into the mountains and Luke has to hunt him down.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;outline:0px;margin-bottom:1rem;font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:14px;background-color:#ffffff;">Days later, a serial killer suspected of killing dozens of women around the Northwest escapes from custody when a Department of Corrections van crashes in the rugged North Cascades. Luke and Jack are hand-picked by the governor to join the manhunt, and the pressure is on to find the fugitive before he disappears into the wilderness, possibly to reemerge and kill again.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;outline:0px;margin-bottom:1rem;font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:14px;background-color:#ffffff;"></p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;outline:0px;margin-bottom:1rem;font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:14px;background-color:#ffffff;"><span style="box-sizing:border-box;outline:0px;font-weight:700;background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);">Praise for&nbsp;<em style="box-sizing:border-box;outline:0px;">Cascade Manhunt:</em></span></p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;outline:0px;margin-bottom:1rem;font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:14px;background-color:#ffffff;">"<em style="box-sizing:border-box;outline:0px;background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);">Cascade Manhunt</em>&nbsp;is the fifth book of Rob Phillips' Luke McCain series, and I believe it to be his best work. The book follows Washington State game warden Luke McCain as he works undercover to apprehend a group of hardcore poachers and then feverishly hunts down a fugitive wanted in several states. As a retired Washington State undercover Fish and Wildlife detective, I found Rob's book to be spot-on. I simply couldn't put&nbsp;<em style="box-sizing:border-box;outline:0px;background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);">Cascade Manhunt</em>&nbsp;down and am already thirsting for Rob's next book."</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;outline:0px;margin-bottom:1rem;font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:14px;background-color:#ffffff;"><span style="box-sizing:border-box;outline:0px;font-weight:700;background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);">--Todd Vandivert, retired Washington State Fish and Wildlife Detective and author of the Wildlife Justice series</span></p><p></p>

Storytime @ Barnes & Noble Presents: Pete the Cat and the Perfect Pizza Party

Pete the Cat and the Perfect Pizza Party

<p>Join us Sunday, July 16th when local author and speaker&nbsp;Helen Heavirland joins us in store to chat about and sign her book,&nbsp;<em>Surviving the Sand: My Family's Struggle to Farm the Pasco Desert.</em></p><p><em></em>She'll be here starting at 12 pm!</p><p>About the Book:</p><span style="font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:14px;background-color:#ffffff;">"Dad's eyes danced. His grin held happiness&hellip;hope. 'We're home!' he announced. Mom stared out the pickup window. Silent. Lifeless&hellip;Tufts of skinny grass and small grayish green bushes surrounded us. The land lay flat in every direction as far as I could see."</span><p style="box-sizing:border-box;outline:0px;margin-bottom:1rem;font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:14px;background-color:#ffffff;"></p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;outline:0px;margin-bottom:1rem;font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:14px;background-color:#ffffff;">Helen Lingscheit Heavirland spent her early years in western Oregon's beautiful woods, where her father Wayne Lingscheit's work as a logger provided a comfortable home. But Wayne dreamed of farming, and Columbia Basin Project irrigation opened a new opportunity. In 1954 he and his wife Gladys moved their family&mdash;seven-year-old Helen, baby Hazel, twelve-year-old Frank, and fifteen-year-old Emma&mdash;to raw land in Pasco, Washington, that was mostly bunchgrass and sagebrush. The only structures were a roofless outhouse, an eight-foot by sixteen-foot wooden shack, and a pen for sheep and goats.<br /></p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;outline:0px;margin-bottom:1rem;font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:14px;background-color:#ffffff;">In&nbsp;<em>Surviving the Sand,</em>&nbsp;Helen shares her family's hardscrabble yet heartwarming story, chronicling common hardships many faced in the Columbia Basin Project's early settlement days. She describes breaking sod, plants destroyed by wind-whipped sand, and a harrowing first winter sleeping outside after a storm shredded their tent, but also simple joys like fresh apricots, Crokinole games, and letters from loved ones. Most of all, she relates how&mdash;despite the heartache, arduous work, and tough times&mdash;her family loves, laughs, and works together as they chase her father's seemingly impossible dream.</p><p></p>
