SUMMARY:Vroman's Local Author Day - Young Readers Edition - Introducing Kyriacos Vidalakis and Norah Lally
DESCRIPTION:My journey through faith was profoundly shaped by my father\, whose colorful and varied career brought unique experiences into my life. From cooking in France\, working at Universal Studios\, developing real estate\, to creating an Italian restaurant\, my father’s career took us around the world\, exposing me to adventures like tasting Szechuan rabbit heads and fried scorpions in China and exploring a decommissioned nuclear missile silo in Moscow. However\, his most impactful gift was sending my brother and me to the Missouri Military Academy (MMA) in Mexico\, Missouri\, the summer I was twelve. This was no ordinary summer camp. At MMA\, I faced rigorous military training: crawling under barbed wire\, rappelling down 50-foot walls\, and enduring homesickness that felt almost unbearable. It was in these moments of struggle that I found a deeper understanding of God’s presence in my life. \nThroughout my life\, it hasn’t been the amazing moments that have taught me God’s glory\, but rather the harsh and arduous obstacles I’ve encountered. I believe struggle is the key to developing both as a person and growing spiritually. MMA represented the greatest challenge of my young life\, and through this trial\, I grew tremendously—both spiritually and in understanding myself as a young man. In Murky Waters\, I recount my transformative experience at MMA\, where I navigated the emotional and physical demands of military life. Through the friendships I forged and the moments of deep reflection\, I discovered that faith\, resilience\, and God’s love can help overcome even the greatest obstacles. My story explores how the toughest trials can bring about the greatest growth\, revealing the power of spirituality in times of struggle. \n  \nNorah Lally presents Back to Bainbridge\n2024 CIBA Gertrude Warner Book Awards Grand Prize Winner for Middle Grade Fiction \nAmazon #1 New Release in Teen & Young Adult Fiction about Being a Teen \nA “moving\, empathetic must-read about growing up and discovering what matters.” -BookLife by Publishers \nWeekly Editor’s Pick” An] accomplished work that packs a big emotional punch…” -Readers’ Favorite” \n…emotively captures the struggles of a young teen as she tries to find a place that feels like home…” –IndieReader\, IR Approved \nWelcome to Bainbridge Avenue\, where fourteen-year-old Vicki’s life takes a bumpy turn. She’s got a lot on her plate-sharing a cramped room with her siblings\, worrying about her mom who can’t catch a break\, and dreaming about a dad who’s nowhere to be found. \nBut things start to change when Vicki meets Rosa from Apartment 1A\, who introduces her to the building’s basement\, a hidden world full of forgotten stories and secrets waiting to be uncovered. \nAs Vicki sets out beyond her neighborhood\, searching for her place in the world\, she wonders if the imperfect family and friends she has on Bainbridge Avenue might just be the treasures she’s been looking for all along. Join her on a journey of hope\, heartache\, and unexpected discoveries in Back to Bainbridge.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Local Author Day Introducing Carlos Vasquez\, S.L. Cook\, and Scott Coon
DESCRIPTION:This work is an exploration of masculinity penned by an author who unearthed the essence of true manhood under harrowing circumstances in prison serving a 20-year sentence. Vasquez’s work reveals how the rules he learned for survival and integrity behind bars are equally vital for men in the free world. \nS.L. Cook presents A Snow Leopard Names Midas\nAfter his girlfriend is kidnapped\, brutalized\, and left drugged in a filthy hotel\, Midas McNight is forced to return to a persona he buried years before: A ruthless and lethal black bag operator known to a chosen few as The Snow Leopard. \nBut that was a long time ago\, and Midas is not the same man. This wary and aging soldier now has no choice but to face a small army of former associates who want to eliminate him and everyone he cherishes. \n“A Snow Leopard Named Midas” goes to the heart of the anxiety and unease now pervasive throughout not only the United States but beyond its borders as well. Told through flawed survivors committed to a war against apathy and fear\, as well as enemies which\, due to sheer numbers and organization\, can never truly be overcome. \nThose trying to make incremental improvements in a world where wrong people inevitably win. \nScott Coon presents Godless Armageddon\nThom dies in World War II and enters a godless afterlife where souls are clouds upon a golden ocean around the Earth. \nHe blames himself for ending his family name. He doesn’t know why he never married because he’s buried it too deep: Thom is gay. \nTo help him\, Thom’s dad reaches out from inside a soul well-a monster made of captured souls. But all Thom sees is his father apologizing for something while dying in World War I. Determined to rescue his father\, Thom teaches himself how to fight the soul wells with weaponized memories. \nOthers want Thom to stop the soul wells before they unleash Earth’s Armageddon and consume all souls\, living and dead. But Thom just wants to atone for ending his family name.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Bruce Holsinger\, in conversation with Sara Sligar\, discusses & signs Culpability
DESCRIPTION: OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK – “I was riveted until the very last shocking sentence “–Oprah Winfrey \nFrom the bestselling author of the “wise and addictive” (New York Times) The Gifted School comes a riveting family drama about moral responsibility in the age of artificial intelligence. \nWhen the Cassidy-Shaws’ autonomous minivan collides with an oncoming car\, killing an elderly couple\, seventeen-year-old Charlie is in the driver’s seat\, with his father\, Noah\, riding shotgun. In the back seat\, tweens Alice and Izzy are on their phones\, while their mother\, Lorelei\, a world leader in the field of artificial intelligence\, is absorbed in her work. Yet each family member harbors a secret\, implicating them each in the tragic accident. \nDuring a weeklong recuperation on the Chesapeake Bay\, the family confronts the excruciating moral dilemmas triggered by the crash. Noah tries to hold the family together as a seemingly routine police investigation jeopardizes Charlie’s future. Alice and Izzy turn strangely furtive. And Lorelei’s odd behavior tugs at Noah’s suspicions that there is a darker truth behind the incident–suspicions heightened by the sudden intrusion of Daniel Monet\, a tech mogul whose mysterious history with Lorelei hints at betrayal. When Charlie falls for Monet’s teenaged daughter\, the stakes are raised even higher in this propulsive family drama that is also a fascinating exploration of the moral responsibility and ethical consequences of AI. \nCulpability explores a world newly shaped by chatbots\, autonomous cars\, drones\, and other nonhuman forces in ways that are thrilling\, challenging\, and unimaginably provocative.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Dennis McNally\, discusses & signs The Last Great Dream: How Bohemians Became Hippies and Created the Sixties
DESCRIPTION:From the New York Times bestselling author of A Long Strange Trip and the publicist of the Grateful Dead\, a riveting social history of everything that led up to the 1960s counterculture movement. \nFew cities represent the countercultural movement of the 1960s more than San Francisco. By that decade\, the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood was home to self-branded “freaks” (dubbed “hippies” by the media) who created the world’s first psychedelic neighborhood–an alchemical chamber for social transformation. They rejected a large part of the traditional American identity\, passing over American exceptionalism\, consumerism\, misogyny\, and militarism in favor of creativity\, mind-body connection\, peace\, and love of all things. \nThe Last Great Dream is a history of everything that led to the 1960s counterculture\, when long-simmering resistance to American mainstream values birthed the hippie. It begins with the San Francisco Poetry Renaissance\, peaks with the Human Be-in in Golden Gate Park\, and ends with the Monterey Pop Festival that introduced Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin to the world. It tells of several micro-histories\, including beat poetry\, visual arts\, underground publishing\, electronic/contemporary compositional music\, experimental theater\, psychedelics\, and more. \nFascinating and definitive\, The Last Great Dream is the ultimate guide to a generation-defining countercultural movement–an Underground 101 course for newcomers and aficionados alike.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  Chris Butera discusses & signs The Darkest Deep
DESCRIPTION:A scavenger trapped in a defunct undersea train tunnel struggles to escape as his air supply–and his sanity–dwindles in this debut psychological thriller. \nThe Transatlantic Train Tunnel\, connecting New York and London\, was meant to be the next Wonder of the World. But after the disastrous maiden voyage seven years ago\, it’s generated nothing but protests\, lawsuits\, and bankruptcy. The only traffic the tunnel sees these days is scrappers harvesting its useless remains before it’s fully dismantled. \nNot everyone is willing to take a tedious job one hundred and fifty feet below sea level\, but Ben Breckenridge doesn’t have a choice. He needs the money\, and the work will help quiet his anxieties. That is\, until one of the bulkhead doors mysteriously locks\, trapping him inside. \nWith limited air supply\, Ben must race deeper into the tunnel to find a way out. Yet the farther he goes\, the more his mind disintegrates. To survive\, he’ll have to reckon with the monsters in his head. Only then will he be able to face the actual monster that’s now hunting him down . . .

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Oliver Wang\, discusses & signs Cruising J-Town: Japanese American Car Culture in Los Angeles
DESCRIPTION:Cruising J-Town: Japanese American Car Culture in Los Angeles explores how generations of Japanese Americans in Southern California shaped\, and were shaped by\, local automobile cultures and industries: from desert lakebeds to concrete speedways\, gas stations to design centers\, souped-up import tuners to humble gardening trucks. Along the way\, cars and trucks became literal and figurative vehicles for Japanese American self-expression\, social mobility\, community identity\, and much more. Cruising J-Town is driven to explore how these diverse relationships between people and the world of cars have steered the Nikkei community’s American stories across the generations. \n  \nAbout the author\nOliver Wang is a professor of sociology at California State University\, Long Beach\, and the curator of Cruising J-Town: Behind the Wheel of the Nikkei Community\, produced by the Japanese American National Museum\, and hosted at the Peter and Merle Mullin Gallery at the ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena in 2025. Oliver previously wrote Legions of Boom: Filipino American Mobile Disc Jockey Crews of the San Francisco Bay Area (Duke University Press\, 2015) and has written about Asian American music\, film\, food\, sports\, and other arts/culture topics since the 1990s. He lives with his wife\, Sharon Mizota\, in the San Gabriel Valley of Los Angeles. \nAbout the conversation partner\nNaomi Hirahara is an multi-award-winning author and journalist who was born and raised in Pasadena\, California. She was a reporter and editor of The Rafu Shimpo during the culmination of the redress and reparations movement for Japanese Americans who were forcibly removed from their homes during World War II. She is the author and/or editor of several books including: Green Makers: Japanese American Gardeners in Southern California (2000)\, A Taste for Strawberries: The Independent Journey of Nisei Farmer Manabi Hirasaki (2003)\, A Scent of Flowers: The History of the Southern California Flower Market (2004)\, among many others. She is also a celebrated author of many mysteries and short stories. She lives in Pasadena.
