Please join us on Saturday, September 19, 2026 from 3pm to 6pm when author Thomas Lion will be signing copies of Osprey Gold.

When an estranged son returns to Osprey Mountain, he finds his family on the brink of losing everything in a valley fractured by competing factions and deepening division. Old conflicts resurface when the land itself becomes contested, pulling him back into a place-and a past-he thought he had left behind.

As tensions rise and alliances are tested, the struggle for the mountain becomes a fight for legacy, identity, and belonging. The valley's polarization mirrors his own internal reckoning, forcing him to confront unresolved wounds and the meaning of home.

Osprey Gold is a contemporary literary novel rooted in place, exploring the intersection of family, land, and reconciliation in modern rural America. Emotionally resonant and deeply human, it examines how healing can emerge from conflict-and how the landscapes we inherit continue to shape who we become.

Please join us on Thursday, September 17, 2026 from 11am to 1pm when author Marina Richie will be signing copies of Feathered Forest.

Acclaimed nature writer Marina Richie guides us into a vertical world of old-growth forests through the eyes of the birds that inhabit them—exploring her journey as an environmentalist in her signature verdant prose.

With exquisite prose and meticulous research, Marina Richie interweaves memoir with clear-eyed notes on ecology to create an engaging blend of scientific and soulful observations.

In Feathered Forest, birds are our guides to a vertical world of ancient trees that spans both sides of the Cascade Mountains. Within centuries-old groves that are critical refugia in a time of climate crisis, these winged messengers show us a better way to steward our threatened landscapes. Just as a forest transitions upward from understory to midstory to overstory, so too does the trajectory of Richie’s life—from the protective cover of adolescence to the precarious yet light-filled canopy of adulthood.

Richie’s love for the wilds unfurls in poetic phrasing, and her call to protect our last old-growth trees is resounding and clear.

A narrative of perception change, memoir, and kinship, Feathered Forest is a soaring ode to birds and wild trees.

Please join us on Saturday, July 18, 2026 from 11am to 2pm when author David Schmaltz will be signing copies of Cluelessness.

What kind of person writes a book about Cluelessness? Not someone who has conquered it. Someone still living within it, noticing it daily, and finding that the real difficulty was never the Cluelessness itself but how poorly most of us cope with its inevitable presence.

David Schmaltz has spent decades observing the ways humans navigate a universe far more complex than any of us can fully comprehend. In Cluelessness: A Book of Mirrors, he turns that observation inward, offering ninety short essays that catch the author - and the reader - in the act of not knowing, misreading, over-planning, under-noticing, and stumbling forward anyway.

This is not a self-help book. There are no twelve steps, no prescriptions, no promises of transformation. It offers something rarer: a sustained, wry, warm-hearted investigation into what it actually feels like to be a finite human being embedded in an infinite, indifferent, and occasionally delightful universe. Schmaltz writes about cooking for a crowd without sleeping the night before, about the studied Cluelessness that lets us ignore what we cannot afford to know, about the difference between problems and difficulties, about why driving the speed limit might qualify as a moral act, and about why the most important things we were ever taught arrived without anyone noticing the teaching.

Please join us on Saturday, June 13, 2026 from 11am to 2pm when author Adriana Janovich will be signing copies of Secret Spokane.

Spokane is a spirited riverfront city with a rich and colorful history, vibrant arts scene, natural beauty, and plenty of quirks. And it’s getting discovered. Long overshadowed by the larger and more metropolitan Seattle and Portland, Oregon, eclectic Spokane and its surrounding county by the same name are becoming tourist destinations in their own right. In fact, many people end up staying. For Pig Out in the Park. For Pie and Whiskey. For Bloomsday, Hoopfest, and an expansive downtown park that once welcomed the world. In 1974, Spokane made history, becoming the smallest city to ever host a World’s Fair.

Today, it’s growing. The second-largest city in Washington state jumped from 208,916 people in 2010 to 228,989 in 2020, an increase of nearly 10 percent. Spokane County increased even more from 2010 to 2020, climbing from 471,221 to 539, 339, or a hike of 14.5 percent. The arts, culture, and culinary capital of the Inland Northwest, Spokane, also known as the Lilac City, is not to be missed. Its collection of distinctive neighborhoods radiates from downtown, where a picturesque river complete with waterfalls runs through the heart of the metropolis. Spokane — its other nickname is River City — features a down-to-earth Pacific Northwest vibe. Spokanites are approachable and unpretentious. And the city itself is a lot of fun.

Please join us on Saturday, May 23, 2026 from 11am to 2pm when author Mark Hester will be signing copies of A Sterling Life.

John Danz, originally named Israel Danowsky, left Czarist Russia at the age of four along with his parents. They escaped the Russian Pogroms and arrived in the United States in 1882. Initially, they lived in a sod hut in Kansas before John and his father traveled to Portland Oregon in their peddler's wagon. In his youth, John took various jobs as a newsboy, a Western Union messenger, a cowhand in Nevada, and a clerk in haberdasheries in Nevada and Oregon.

In 1903, John arrived in Seattle Washington and soon established his own men's clothing business. By 1913, he began to manage a nickelodeon theatre next to his store, primarily to attract customers to his clothing business. To his surprise, the theatre proved to be more profitable. Consequently, John decided to focus on expanding his chain of theatres. He named his business, the Sterling Theatre Company. Despite facing challenges such as two world wars, bankruptcies, the longest labor strike in Seattle's history, and the Great Depression, John Danz managed to achieve significant success. He passed away in 1961, leaving his theatre empire to his son, Fred.

At the age of fifty-five, author Mark Hester's journey of discovery began. By 2015, he had successfully traced the majority of his ancestors back to the seventeenth century. Hester decided to undergo a DNA test fully aware that it wouldn't reveal anything new or surprising. However, the test results unveiled something unexpected - Mark Hester was twenty-five percent Jewish. This revelation left him puzzled. After spending forty years researching his family history, he had no indication of Jewish ancestry. What happened next would have a profound and lasting impact on his life.

Please join us on Saturday, April 18, 2026 from 11am to 2pm when author Robert Johnson, Susan Pickett, and Mark Brown will be signing copies of The Enigma of Grief & The Sublime.

What is it about those moments of breathtaking beauty within our lives that make them so elusive to description?

In this book, we shall argue that we know the answer. And it is this: such moments must defy description: were they not so resistant they'd fail their own birthing. Their nature stands apart from problem-solving. It is, instead and indeed, one of enigma. Breathtaking beauty, the sublime, is an experience of enigma.

And here we go further: the same is true of, lives at the heart of, the experience of loss - what we shall call essential, natural grief - sublime sadness. The sublime is as true of those moments of breathtaking beauty as it is of those at the very core of grief: they partake of a oneness. That is the argument we present. We write descriptively to set contexts for an experience and a way to understand it, but our argument on its behalf cannot come to rest on those descriptive words however they're formulated. The argument must evoke the feeling it's addressing. And to do that we make use of the arts - just a tiny few of their many, many sublime fragments - literary, visual, and musical.

We co-authors are friends. We share a lifelong passion for the arts. Two of us are psychotherapists, two of us are musicians, one is a physician of 50 years' experience, and one taught music theory and history for decades. In an extended Introduction to the book, we describe how the theme for the argument we've just described came to our minds and from there became a topic for our conversations. We've put this book together by retaining each of us an individual voice, as if it were an extended conversation-of-monologues (if that's not self-contradictory). In short, we've authored the book's chapters individually, teaching ourselves, as we've done so, how to make use of a language for grief and the sublime, something we came to hold in common.

In The Flow: A Hedonist’s Guide to Buddhism, Meditation and Travels in Thailand, a dry-witted hedonist goes searching for something real in a world that prizes distraction, and winds up barefoot and meditating at 5 a.m. amidst the cacophony of the jungle. What begins as spiritual curiosity soon becomes a heartfelt plunge into the rhythms of Thai life, Buddhist practice, and the universal ache for connection, purpose, and grace.
