SUMMARY:Vroman's: John Vercher discusses After the Lights Go Out
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual event and will take place on Crowdcast. Register for FREE ahead of time to save your spot and get an email reminder! Visit www.vromansbookstore.com to purchase your copy of the book from Vroman’s. \nCROWDCAST REGISTRATION LINK: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/john-vercher-in \nJohn Vercher\, in conversation with Chris L. Terry\, discusses After the Lights Go Out \nAfter The Lights Go Out\nXavier “Scarecrow” Wallace\, a mixed-race MMA fighter on the wrong side of thirty\, is facing the fight of his life. Xavier can no longer deny he is losing his battle with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE)\, or pugilistic dementia. Through the fog of memory loss\, migraines\, and paranoia\, Xavier does his best to stay in shape by training at the Philadelphia gym owned by his cousin-cum-manager\, Shot\, a retired champion boxer to whom Xavier owes an unpayable debt. \nXavier makes ends meet while he waits for the call that will reinstate him after a year-long suspension by teaching youth classes at Shot’s gym and by living rent-free in the house of his white father\, whom Xavier was forced to commit to a nursing home. The progress of Sam Wallace’s end-stage Alzheimer’s has revealed his latent racism\, and Xavier finally gains insight into why his Black mother left the family years ago. \nThen Xavier is offered a chance at redemption: a last-minute high-profile comeback fight. If he can get himself back in the game\, he’ll be able to clear his name and begin to pay off Shot. With his memory in shreds and his life crumbling around him\, can Xavier hold on to the focus he needs to survive? John Vercher\, author of the Edgar and Anthony Award-nominated Three-Fifths\, offers a gripping\, psychologically astute\, and explosive tour de force about race\, entertainment\, and healthcare in America\, and about one man’s battle against himself.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Local Author's Day (Kids Edition)
DESCRIPTION:Vroman’s Local Author Day (Kids’ Edition) featuring Chris Wieland\, Maria McCloud and Jon-Barrett Ingels \nThis is a virtual event and will take place on Crowdcast. Register for FREE ahead of time to save your spot and get an email reminder! Visit www.vromansbookstore.com to purchase your copy of the book from Vroman’s. \nCROWDCAST REGISTRATION LINK: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/vromans-local-author-day-2 \nChris Wieland presents The Crabtree Monsters\nMoving from Los Angeles to tiny Crabtree\, Michigan\, is the last thing thirteen-year-old Kat Dylan wants to do. Crabtree’s seen better days and isn’t what you call welcoming. Worse\, the move means living with her gruff Grandpa Nick\, the town’s police chief\, and having to look after her little brother\, Alec.\nAnd that’s before Kat and Alec find themselves in the middle of a bank holdup by the Monster Gang—four robbers in monster masks. Before the heist is over\, the kids lose their cash and Alec comes within a hair of losing his life. When it is all over\, Grandpa Nick goes to jail\, accused of being one of the robbers himself.\nSuddenly\, this boring little town isn’t so boring anymore. Kat’s determined to find out who the men are behind the masks\, and she’s going to need help. But exposing the robbers could have big consequences. The deeper Kat goes\, the more she learns life is about making choices\, including some that are a matter of life and death. \nMaria McCloud presents Kash’s Hats\nKash and his adventurous hats give him the power to dream. One day he’s an artist\, the next a chef or cowboy. See how many ways Kash’s Hats can power your imagination. \nJon-Barrett Ingels presents Running of the Noses\nThere are a lot of books for kids about snot\, but not so many that combine humor\, instruction\, and great storytelling the way Running of the Noses does.\nNicco feels terrible about his runny nose\, but Piper is sure she can cheer him up! She tells him about how trees talk to mushrooms to stop getting sick\, tells him wild tales about other out-of-control runny noses\, and even shares a story about herself as a snot-sneezing dragon. But Nicco is still worried – will he have to go to the doctor? Will he have to get a SHOT?! Piper’s not sure\, but she lends him Bird—with Bird to keep him company\, Nicco can be brave. As it turns out\, neither doctors nor runny noses are as bad as they seem.\nRunning of the Noses gently acknowledges and validates the anxiety many kids feel about being sick and visiting the doctor while still offering reassuring advice. Piper’s upbeat character and the dynamic\, comic-book style illustrations are the perfect antidotes to feeling under the weather. Peppered throughout the story and offered in a Q&A at the end are facts to help readers understand what a runny nose is and how it protects their bodies.\nRunning of the Noses is funny\, entertaining\, and reassuring—and just in time for Spring allergies.
