SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: M.T. Anderson discusses Nicked
DESCRIPTION:From the award-winning and bestselling author of Feed comes a raucous and slyly funny adult fiction debut. Based on a bizarre but true quest to steal the mystical corpse of a long-dead saint\, Nicked is a fantastical\, genre-defying\, and delightfully queer historical romp. \nThe year is 1087\, and a pox is sweeping through the Italian city of Bari. When a lowly monk is visited by Saint Nicholas in his dreams\, he interprets the vision as a call to serve the sick. But his superiors\, and the power brokers they serve\, have different plans for the tender-hearted Brother Nicephorus. \nEnter Tyun\, a charismatic treasure hunter renowned for “liberating” holy relics from their tombs. Tyun says that the seven-hundred-year-old bones of Saint Nicholas are rumored to weep a mysterious liquid that can heal the sick. For the humble price of a small fortune\, he will steal the bones and deliver them to Bari\, curing the plague and restoring glory to the fallen city. And Nicephorus\, the “dreamer\,” will be his guide. \nWhat follows is a heist for the ages\, as Nicephorus is swept away on strange tides\, and alongside even stranger bedfellows\, to commit sacrilegious theft. Based on real historical accounts\, Nicked is a swashbuckling saga\, a medieval novel noir\, a meditation on the miraculous\, and a monastic meet-cute\, filled with wide-eyed wonder at the world that awaits beyond our own borders.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Julie Schnieders discusses A Hunt for Bugs!
DESCRIPTION:What is Charlie to do on a rainy day after his iPad no longer works? Bored\, Charlie wants magic\, adventure\, and even to slay a dragon When a rainbow suddenly appears\, Charlie steps outside to take a sensory journey through his neighborhood discovering the sights\, sounds\, and smell of nature. On his walk\, Charlie learns much more about the world around him than he would have just playing video games. \nAbout the Author:\nJulie Schnieders grew up in South Pasadena\, California\, where her family settled over 100 years ago. As a child\, her parents took her hiking in the local mountains and on vacation at the beach where she collected seashells by the dozens. Her dad owned an ice cream business and candy shop—a child’s dream! Her early childhood memories fostered in her a love of nature\, exploration\, and of course\, a sweet tooth! \nJulie has written freelance stories for The Tidings\, Angelus News\, and Quarterly Magazine. She also taught elementary school\, which piqued her interest in children’s books. \nToday\, Julie calls Northwest Montana home where her adventure continues. The beauty of wildlife\, starry skies\, and the great outdoors inspire her to write stories about how nature cultivates the creativity and curiosity of children of all ages. \nJulie is a wife and mother of two grown children. She is still on the hunt for the next great story.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Aaron Carnes\, in conversation with Dan Ozzi\, discusses In Defense of Ska: Expanded 2nd Edition
DESCRIPTION:With an additional 30\,000 words of compelling stories\, research\, and analysis\, music journalist and ‘In Defense of Ska’ podcast creator/host Aaron Carnes presents the case that ska never died\, by jumping headfirst into ska’s “lost years\,” i.e.\, the period after the ’90s third-wave ska boom. \nNew topics covered include LA’s ongoing vibrant traditional ska scene and how young Latinos are keeping the ska torch aflame\, how the devastation of Hurricane Katrina inadvertently kicked off a thriving scene focused on keeping community alive in New Orleans\, a deep review of Christian ska group Five Iron Frenzy\, who broke a Kickstarter record in the ’10s while making progressive activists out of their fan base\, a close inspection of a hipster rocksteady scene in Brooklyn that grew so popular it nearly kicked off a nationwide revival\, and more secret ska past revelations with none other than Fall Out Boy lead singer Patrick Stump—who has a story that\, up until recently\, was carefully guarded. \nPlus\, the book re-explores several bands featured in the first edition\, revealing new layers and more details about all the bands fans love\, like Mighty Mighty Bosstones\, Operation Ivy\, the Slackers\, Hepcat\, Mephiskapheles\, and Reel Big Fish. With 30\,000 additional words\, this is the complete ska package.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Jesse Katz\, in conversation with Héctor Tobar\, discusses The Rent Collectors: Exploitation\, Murder\, and Redemption in Immigrant LA
DESCRIPTION:Baby-faced teen Giovanni Macedo is desperate to find belonging in one of LA’s most predatory gangs\, the Columbia Lil Cycos—so desperate that he agrees to kill an undocumented Mexican street vendor. The vendor\, Francisco Clemente\, had been refusing to give in to the gang’s shakedown demands. But Giovanni botches the hit\, accidentally killing a newborn instead. The overlords who rule the Lil Cycos from a Supermax prison 1\,000 miles away must be placated and Giovanni is lured across the border where\, in turn\, the gang botches his killing. And so\, incredibly\, Giovanni rises from the dead\, determined to both seek redemption for his unforgivable crime and take down the gang who drove him to do it. \n  \nWith The Rent Collectors\, Jesse Katz has built a teeth clenching and breathless narrative that explicates the difficult and proud lives of undocumented black market workers who are being extorted by the gangs and fined by the city of LA—in other words\, exploited by two sets of rent collectors.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Molly Ruttan\, in conversation with Stacy Lynn Carroll\, discusses The Yowlers
DESCRIPTION:A playful picture book about the transformative power of being nice \nThe Yowler family is always in a monstrously bad mood: Papa grumbles\, Mama yells\, Sara and Sonya bicker\, and the baby fusses day and night. They’re so used to being grumpy that when their new neighbors smile at them\, the Yowlers are puzzled and are immediately suspicious. And when the new kids ask Sara and Sonya to play? Well\, that’s just plain odd. Then again\, it does feel good to be treated kindly . . . and all of a sudden the sisters start acting nicer themselves\, causing Mama and Papa to wonder if they’re coming down with something. But as it turns out\, even the smallest acts of kindness can be powerful. The weather may have been stormy— but there is friendliness is in the forecast!

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Nov 09 Allen Zadoff in conversation with Yehudi Mercado\, discusses The Donut Prince of New York
DESCRIPTION:Eugene Guterman’s junior year in high school is off to a rocky start.  No love life\, no new theater production\, and if his mother has her way\, no more of his favorite comfort food—donuts. Eugene would just as soon spend the year playing small\, but that’s hard to do when you’re the biggest kid in your class. \nThings change when he accidentally tackles the school’s star quarterback and Coach sees the possibilities and recruits the plus-size playwright onto the varsity football team. Eugene is suddenly catapulted into the world of the “The Pops\,” the exclusive clique of popular athletes known for their parties and dating scene. Best of all is the new and mysterious girl Daisy who seems to be noticing him. \nThen Eugene discovers that life at the top is more complicated than he imagined— there’s pressure to excel\, to fit in\, and to uphold a certain image—and Eugene misses his former life and his old friends. Can he find the courage to give it all up\, write something real\, and maybe\, just maybe\, be the big guy who actually gets the girl?

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Bree Paulsen\, in conversation with Victoria Ying\, discusses Firelight’s Apprentice
DESCRIPTION:The bestselling author-illustrator of Garlic and the Vampire\, Bree Paulsen\, brings her fantastical storytelling and warm\, sparkling artwork to this story that celebrates the bond between sisters. \nIn a city powered by magic and still recovering from a bloody war\, Ada is concerned about her younger sister Safi’s developing powers. She understands that Safi could learn how to control her magic under the apprenticeship of a king’s magician. But with the memories of war still fresh\, Ada is conflicted by this prospect—despite her knowing that she can’t keep Safi safely at home with the threat of deadly\, power-thieving liches prowling the kingdom. \nWhen a traveling group of magicians comes to the city to perform\, they immediately recognize Safi’s talents and offer to take her on as an apprentice. Safi is thrilled about her new adventure—even if that means leaving behind Ada and their sickly father. And Ada is right to worry about her sister\, for there may be monsters hiding behind friendly faces…

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Jack Stewart\, in conversation with Ray Porter\, discuss Bogey Spades
DESCRIPTION:Enemies. Allies. It’s hard to tell the difference when peace and world order hang in the balance. \nReturning home a hero\, TOPGUN pilot Colt Bancroft is called on to resurrect a Vietnam-era light attack squadron. Once soaring high\, he finds himself on the dark side of special operations in a conflict he never saw coming. At its front lines\, NCIS Special Agent Emmy “Punky” King is confronted with the timeless question—is the enemy of her enemy her friend? \nAs Colt and his band of Navy SEALs bring the Black Ponies of VAL-4 to the fight\, Punky navigates the murky waters of international espionage and an uneasy alliance with a former adversary to uncover a new threat. At its heart is a weapon that could tilt the scales of global power. And the American Vice President is in the crosshairs. \nIn a world where every decision has repercussions and trust is a double-edged sword\, Colt and Punky must forgive past transgressions and forge new alliances to confront an enemy who always seems one step ahead. In this high-stakes game: every choice counts\, and the next move could redefine the future. \nFrom author Jack Stewart\, a former US Navy Top Gun instructor pilot\, comes the third book in the exhilarating Battle Born series. Bogey Spades is perfect for fans of Tom Clancy and Dale Brown. \nJack Stewart grew up in Seattle\, Washington and graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy\, serving twenty-three years as a fighter pilot. A graduate of TOPGUN\, he flew combat missions from three different aircraft carriers\, deployed to Afghanistan with an Air Force Tactical Air Control Party\, and served on a joint special operations counter-terrorism task force in Africa. He is a captain with a major U.S. airline and lives with his family in Dallas\, Texas.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Sebastian Junger discusses In My Time of Dying
DESCRIPTION:A near-fatal health emergency leads to this powerful reflection on death—and what might follow—by the bestselling author of Tribe and The Perfect Storm. \nFor years as an award-winning war reporter\, Sebastian Junger traveled to many front lines and frequently put his life at risk. And yet the closest he ever came to death was the summer of 2020 while spending a quiet afternoon at the New England home he shared with his wife and two young children. Crippled by abdominal pain\, Junger was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. Once there\, he began slipping away. As blackness encroached\, he was visited by his dead father\, inviting Junger to join him. “It’s okay\,” his father said. “There’s nothing to be scared of. I’ll take care of you.” That was the last thing Junger remembered until he came to the next day when he was told he had suffered a ruptured aneurysm that he should not have survived. \nThis experience spurred Junger—a confirmed atheist raised by his physicist father to respect the empirical—to undertake a scientific\, philosophical\, and deeply personal examination of mortality and what happens after we die. How do we begin to process the brutal fact that any of us might perish unexpectedly on what begins as an ordinary day? How do we grapple with phenomena that science may be unable to explain? And what happens to a person\, emotionally and spiritually\, when forced to reckon with such existential questions? \nSebastian Junger is the New York Times bestselling author of Tribe\, War\, Freedom\, A Death in Belmont\, Fire\, and The Perfect Storm\, and co-director of the documentary film Restrepo\, which was nominated for an Academy Award. He is also the winner of a Peabody Award and the National Magazine Award for Reporting.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: TICKETED - Mark Harmon & Leon Carroll Jr. sign copies of Ghosts of Panama
DESCRIPTION:Panama\, 1989. The once warm relationship between United States and Gen. Manuel Noriega has eroded dangerously. Newly elected President George Bush has declared the strongman a drug trafficker and a rigger of elections. Intimidation on the streets is a daily reality for U.S. personnel and their families. The nation is a powder keg. \nNaval Investigative Service (NIS) Special Agent Rick Yell has worked the job in Panama since 1986\, and lives there with his wife Annya and infant child. Like most NIS agents\, he’s a civilian with no military rank with a specialty in working criminal cases. The dynamic changes suddenly when Yell inadvertently develops an intelligence source with unparalleled access to the Noriega regime. Now the agent is thrust into a world of spy-versus-spy\, of secret meetings and hidden documents. \nYell’s source – known as “The Old Man” – warns when Cuban military personnel arrive and identifies anti-American officers within the Panamanian Defense Forces\, provides information about an imprisoned CIA asset and helps track Noriega’s movements\, agitating for the dictator’s kidnapping. The reports created by Yell and his NIS colleagues shape the decisions made in Washington D.C.\, CIA headquarters in Langley and the innermost sanctums of Pentagon. \nThe powder keg is lit on December 16\, 1989\, when a young U.S. Marine is gunned down at a checkpoint in Panama City. Yell and his cadre of trusted agents deploy immediately to investigate the killing\, and what they determine will decide the fate of two nations. When President Bush hears the details they uncover\, he orders an invasion that puts Yell’s family\, informants and fellow agents directly in harm’s way. \nUsing a blend of research and interviews with the NIS agents who were directly involved\, Ghosts of Panama reveals the untold\, clandestine story of counterintelligence professionals placed in a pressure cooker assignment of historic proportions. \nThis is a ticketed in-store event. One ticket = 1 copy of GHOSTS OF PANAMA as well as access to the signing line. The authors will not be signing any other merchandise. \nAbout the authors\nMark Harmon starred as Leroy Jethro Gibbs on NCIS and also served as executive producer of the show. On the new CBS series\, NCIS: Origins which explores the early career of Gibbs\, Harmon will serve as narrator in addition to executive producer. In other television work\, Harmon received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series for the critically acclaimed The West Wing and for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Special for Eleanor and Franklin: The White House Years. Other credits include Reasonable Doubts\, for which he received two Golden Globe nominations\, Chicago Hope\, From Earth to the Moon\, St. Elsewhere\, and Moonlighting. \nLeon Carroll\, Jr. co-authored the New York Times bestseller Ghosts of Honolulu. He previously served as a technical advisor on the hit drama NCIS for twenty-one seasons and is currently working on the new show NCIS: Origins. Previously\, he was a commissioned officer in the United States Marine Corps\, attaining the rank of Major. Leon then began a twenty-year career as a Special Agent with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS). He served in seven different locations\, including tours as a Special Agent Afloat on the USS Ranger (CV-61) and as the Special Agent in Charge of NCIS offices in the Republic of Panama and the Pacific Northwest.

Soon afterward\, Ezra discovers that his friends know LeVar from TV\, too. \n  \nThis joyous celebration of the impact that LeVar Burton had on kids during his years on television stems from the author’s real-life admiration of LeVar Burton and their chance meeting when Ezra was a child. \nEzra Edmond is a debut author\, illustrator\, director\, and animation producer with big ideas. His animated short\, Blewish\, was featured in several film festivals and celebrates being both Black and Jewish. Outside of work\, he enjoys traveling\, trying new foods\, telling stories\, spending time with his friends\, family\, and dog\, Sherman.
