Greetings, book lovers! The Nature of Words was a spectacular event! We were so honored to take part by selling books at the various venues. We’ve now caught our breath and can catch you up with what’s going on in the store. Happy November A Few weeks late.

Friday, November 21, 6:00 p.m. - Book discussion and signing with author George Byron Wright. Wright is the author of the Oregon Trio of novels, which includes BAKER CITY 1948, TILLAMOOK 1952, and ROSEBURG 1959. Each of Wright’s novels is set into motion by actual traumatic events that rock the three towns. In Baker City two women were killed in the late ’40s and their murders were never solved. The huge forest fire near Tillamook in 1933 is still considered one of the fiercest in U.S. history. And in 1959 Roseburg’s city center was nearly obliterated when a truckload of explosives blew up in the center of town.
