Oregon's Isolate Coast, When A Continent and Ocean Collide
by Bo Shindler

Gold Beach author Bo Shindler explores the history of what makes Curry County's most rugged terrain the way it is, from the landscape to the history of the inhabitants living there. From Gold Beach to Marial and along the waters of the Rogue and Pistol Rivers, the history of Humbug, and everything in between. There's a deep dive into the weather and how it shaped the isolate coast, and another on how salmon runs down the rivers encouraged Native Americans and settlers to populate the area, and the subsequent fishing and gold mining opportunities. There is also a touch on The Battle of Big Bend and how it directly ties to the Rogue River Wars until an agreement in 1856. Oregon's Isolate Coast is an incredibly solid look into the history of the Southern Oregon Coast's southern half, and a great way to learn about what made Curry County's coast the way it is today.

by Sarah Beth Durst

New York Times #1 bestselling author Sarah Beth Durst's uber popular Spellshop romantasy novels have been a fast favorite since the first entry into the series. The Enchanted Greenhouse is the second stand alone of the Spellshop series. Terlu Perna has broken the law due to loneliness. She had cast a spell to create a sentient spider plant, and as punishment she was turned into a wooden statue and all but hidden away in an alcove of the North Reading Room of the Great Library of Alyssium. That should have been the end of her and her story, until one day she wakes up cold, starving, and confused in the dead of of winter on a seemingly deserted island full of hundreds of magical greenhouses. The only other real human on the island is the gardener. He offers her clothes, a place to sleep, and freshly baked honey cakes to get her well enough to set sail and head home.

But she doesn't want to return home, growing closer to Yarrow the gardener, and really doesn't want to leave when she learns that the magic sustaining the greenhouses is failing and killing everything inside of them. With the assistance of Yarrow and a sentient rose, Terlu is determined to unravel the secrets of the long dead sorcerer responsible for the magic of the greenhouses, regardless of if she breaks the law again.

House of Rayne Deluxe Limited Edition
by Harley Laroux

Hailing from the Pacific Northwest Harley Laroux is an essential read for those who love all things dark or paranormal romance. House of Rayne is one of those quintessential pillars of dark romance novels, and it was one of the first to pop up in the darker edge of paranormal romance novels, and is a favorite of the genre for good reason. Salem was supposed to be marrying her fiancé and jetting off to a tropical honeymoon. Instead, she is on a ferry to historic Balfour Manor on Blackridge Island tucked away deep in the Pacific Northwest. Essentially stranded, and inexplicably drawn to Rayne, who is full of many secrets and is a mysterious as the manor she owns. Her family is long gone, her mother's murder and her father's violent death taught Rayne the lesson that the world can be so cruel. Death also seems to dog at her heels at every step. As the newest murder of Blackridge crops up, Salem and Rayne must fight for survival against whatever is stalking the forest and killing randomly, and without restraint. Rayne is more than willing to dig up the skeletons in the closet if it means Salem, who has shown her perhaps the world isn't as terrible as it could be, can survive whatever evil is haunting the manor and island. Will they make it, or will the island eat them alive and claim them both? Pick up or order a copy with us today!

BYOB When Coos County Oregon Ran Dry
by William "Bill" Lansing

Local historian and author Bill Lansing spent 40 years working for Menasha, and in his retirement he began writing plenty of books covering local history of Coos County and Coos Bay/North Bend. His latest book BYOB covers the time in history where the prohibition movement was in full swing and so were the moonshine distilleries. Oregon was no different in its urge for drink, and while there was never any big notable gangsters or figureheads to the movement, there were still plenty of gunfights. Coos and Curry counties were some of the most isolated counties of the state at the time. They were full of young loggers, fishermen, and farmers, with plenty of isolated land to hide stills. This peek into the past has eight chapters spanning the from the early 1900s all the way to the 1940s and has plenty of photos, old newspaper clippings, and more inside. Bill's books are always a great read! Pick up or order a copy with us today 📚🌲🍺

Songs of the Dead
by Brandon Sanderson and Peter Orullian

Brandon Sanderson is most well known for his Mistborn and Stormlight Archive books, as well as plenty of other bestselling fantasy novels. Peter Orullian is a fantasy author, musician, and composer. Together they have teamed up on a brand new urban fantasy series The Strata Wars.

Jack Solomon is a heavy metal musician from Los Angeles living in London's West End after starting the metal band The Hounds of Winter. He wakes up one morning to find that he's seemingly been fired from his band via email, a week before they're set to be openers for Black Sabbath at Wembley Stadium. As he's headed to legendary pub and music venue Iron Horse to drown his sorrows and lament with the owner, and his mentor, Henry, a strange woman gives him an odd looking stone and a cryptic message about "finding her if he wakes up" and Jack just assumes she's an intense Hounds fan. Later, Jack and Henry are both shot and seemingly murdered by a man in a long peacoat and black metal corpsepaint.

Jack wakes up to an awful hellscape and Henry telling him there's more for him to do, then wakes up again to an empty street with Henry nowhere to be found. He gets chased by a hulking beast back to the Iron Horse and learns that all is not as it seems. Jack is apparently a thanatist, which is definitely NOT a necromancer, but someone who can bind souls using powers based on light and music and walk between life and death, and past and present. As he assumes control over Iron Horse, Jack learns it's actually the entrance to the Strata. Layers and layers of London's ghostly history and afterlife just under the surface. The dead souls of the Strata have been seeking to weaken the wards of Iron Horse and remake the living modern world in their image. Between searching for the identity of Henry's murderer and preventing the creatures and ghosts of the Strata from escaping Jack has a LOT of work cut out for him. With music being the underlying beat of this unique urban fantasy take, Songs of the Dead is the first book of what is shaping up to be a solid series. Pick up or order a copy with us today!
