Our thanks to Katie Sanders who dropped by the store this morning to sign copies of her new book ORTIZ’S WAR.

We were thrilled to have bestselling author Silvia Moreno-Garcia stop by to autograph her books today. We have copies of her new book THE INTRIGUE along with three of her bestselling classic novels MEXICAN GOTHIC, THE BEWITCHING & THE SEVENTH VEIL OF SALOME- all autographed (while supplies last.)

S. A. Cosby, New York Times bestselling author of King of Ashes called THE INTRIGUE, “Lush and passionate with magnetic prose, The Intrigue takes up the mantle of noir classics like Double Indemnity or Black Wings Has My Angel, and reinvigorates the genre with a new perspective. Silvia-Moreno Garcia writes with the soul of a sensualist and the eye of a practiced observer of human nature. The Intrigue will grab you by the throat and not let go until its earth-shaking finale!"

This just in from The Swellesley Report (Wellesley, Mass.)

Author Katie Sanders will be dropping by the store briefly tomorrow at 11:30 am to sign copies of her new book ORTIZ'S WAR on it's publication day. Written with Nicholas Reynolds, it tells the story of Peter Ortiz, the most battle-decorated member of America's first spy agency, the Office of Strategic Services--and one of the most decorated Marines of World War II.

This is not a formal event- we often have authors with new books and local connections stop by to sign copies of their books on their "Book Birthday."
