Greetings!
September
will
be
very
busy.
We
have
four
different
book
signings
scheduled
with
local
authors.
You
can
read
more
about
each
of
these
listed
below.
There
will
be
one
more
Third
Thursday
Street
Festival
on
September
15th
to
close
out
summer
2016.
Take
a
look
at
some
of
the
great
titles
on
the
left that
are
coming
out
this
month.
Right
now,
I'm
reading
"Dead
Wake:
The
Last
Crossing
of
the
Lusitania"
by
Erik
Larson.
It's
a
fascinating
story
of
a
very
tragic
event. I didn't
realize that submarines
were
in
use
during
World
War
I.
Even
though
the
outcome
of
the
story
is
known,
Larson
has
a
way
of
creating
suspense
for
the
reader.
The
sinking
of
the
British
ocean
liner
Lusitania
in
1915
is
one
of
a
trio
(including
the
iceberg-wounded
Titanic
in
1912
and
the
Italian
liner
Andrea
Doria,
which
collided
with
another
liner
on
the
high
seas
in
1956)
of
the
most
dramatic
and
most
remembered
maritime
disasters
of
the
twentieth
century.
With
the
narrative
skills
shown
so
effectively
in
his
"The
Devil
in
the
White
City"(2003),
a
lively
account
of
Chicago's
1893
World's
Fair,
Larson
reconstructs
the
last
and
fatal
voyage
of
what
was
widely
considered
the
most
beautiful
ship
of
the
day,
the
giant
four-stacker
Lusitania.
Reader
engrossment
is
tightly
sustained
as
we
move
back
and
forth
between
the
Lusitania
on
its
return
from
New
York
City
to
its
home
port
of
Liverpool
under
a
black
cloud
of
warnings
that
the
imperial
German
government
considered
the
waters
around
Britain
to
be
a
war
zone,
and
the
rapacious
German
submarine
U-20,
stalking
the
seas
for
prey
like
a
lion
on
the
Serengeti.
Factual
and
personal
to
a
high
degree,
the
narrative
reads
like
a
grade-A
thriller. (Reprinted

New
Longmire
Book
Out
September 13th
We
do
not
have
a
booksigning
scheduled
yet
with
Craig
Johnson,
but
we'll
keep
you
informed
when
it
is
set
up.
In
the
12th
novel
in
the
"New
York
Times
"bestselling
Longmire
series,
Walt,
Henry,
and
Vic
discover
much
more
than
they
bargained
for
when
they
are
called
in
to
investigate
a
hit-and-run
accident
involving
a
young
motorcyclist
near
Devils
Tower.
In
the
midst
of
the
largest
motorcycle
rally
in
the
world,
a
young
biker
is
run
off
the
road
and
ends
up
in
critical
condition.
When
Sheriff
Walt
Longmire
and
his
good
friend
Henry
Standing
Bear
are
called
to
Hulett,
Wyoming,
the
nearest
town
to
America's
first
national
monument,
Devils
Tower,
to
investigate,
things
start
getting
complicated.
As
competing
biker
gangs;
the
Bureau
of
Alcohol,
Tobacco,
and
Firearms;
a
military-grade
vehicle
donated
to
the
tiny
local
police
force
by
a wealthy
entrepreneur;
and
Lola,
the
real-life
femme
fatale
and
namesake
for
Henry's
'59
Thunderbird
(and,
by
extension,
Walt's
granddaughter)
come
into
play,
it
rapidly
becomes
clear
that
there
is
more
to
get
to
the
bottom
of
at
this
year's
Sturgis
Motorcycle
Rally
than
a
bike
accident.
After
all,
in
the
words
of
Arthur
Conan
Doyle,
whose
"Adventures
of
Sherlock
Holmes"
the
Bear
won't
stop
quoting,
"There
is
nothing
more
deceptive
than
an
obvious
fact."

Booksigning
for "Horseback
Schoolmarm"
by
Margot
Liberty
Saturday,
September
10th
11:00am
to
1:00pm
In
1953,
Margot
Pringle,
newly
graduated
from
Cornell
University,
took
a
job
as
a
teacher
in
a
one-room
school
in
rural
eastern
Montana,
sixty
miles
southeast
of
Miles
City.
Miss
Margot,
as
her
students
called
her,
would
teach
at
the
school
for
one
year.
This
book
is
the
memoir
she
wrote
then,
published
here
for
the
first
time,
under
her
married
name.
Filled
with
humor
and
affection
for
her
students,
"Horseback
Schoolmarm"
recounts
Liberty's
coming
of
age
as
a
teacher,
as
well
as
what
she
taught
her
students.
Margot's
school
was
located
on
the
SH
Ranch,
whose
owner
needed
a
way
to
retain
his
hired
hands
after
their
children
reached
school
age.
Few
teachers
wanted
to
work
in
such
remote
and
primitive
circumstances.
Margot
lived
alone
in
a
teacherage,
hardly
more
than
a
closet,
at
one
end
of
the
schoolhouse.
It
had
electricity
but
no
phone,
plumbing,
or
running
water.
She
drew
water
from
a
well
outside.
The
nearest
house
was
a
half-mile
away.
Margot
had
a
car,
but
she
had
to
park
it
so
far
away,
she
kept
her
saddle
horse,
Orphan
Annie,
in
the
schoolyard.
Miss
Margot
started
with
no
experience
and
no
supplies,
but
her
spunk
and
inventiveness,
along
with
that
of
her
seven
students,
made
the
school
a
success.
Evocative
of
Laura
Ingalls
Wilder's
school-teaching
experiences
some
eighty
years
earlier,
"Horseback
Schoolmarm"
gives
readers
a
firsthand
look
at
an
almost
forgotten
yet
not
so
distant
way
of
life."

Booksigning
for
"My
Ideal
Partner"
by
Abbie
Johnson
Taylor
Saturday,
September
24th
10:00am
to
12:00
pm
In
September
of
2005,
Abbie
Johnson
married
Bill
Taylor.
She
was
in
her
mid-forties,
and
he
was
nineteen
years
older.
Three
months
later,
Bill
suffered
the
first
of
two
strokes
that
paralyzed
his
left
side
and
confined
him
to
a
wheelchair.
Abbie
Johnson
Taylor,
once
a
registered
music
therapist,
uses
prose
and
poetry
to
tell
the
story
of
how
she
met
and
married
her
husband,
then
cared
for
him
for
six
years
despite
her
visual
impairment.
At
first,
there
was
a
glimmer
of
hope
that
Bill
would
walk
again,
but
when
therapists
gave
up
on
him
seven
months
after
his
second
stroke,
Taylor
resigned
herself
to
being
a
permanent
family
caregiver.
She
discusses
learning
to
dress
him
and
transfer
him
from
one
place
to
another,
sitting
up
with
him
at
night
when
he
couldn't
urinate
or
move
his
bowels,
and
dealing
with
doctors
and
bureaucrats
to
obtain
necessary
equipment
and
services.
There
were
happy
times,
like
when
she
played
the
piano
or
guitar
and
sang
his
favorite
songs,
or
when
they
went
out
to
eat
or
to
a
concert.
She
also
explains
how
she
purchased
a
wheelchair
accessible
van
and
found
people
to
drive
it,
so
they
wouldn't
always
depend
on
the
local
paratransit
service's
limited
hours.
In
the
end,
she
describes
the
painful
decision
she
and
Bill
made
to
move
him
to
a
nursing
home
when
he
became
too
weak
for
her
to
care
for
him
in
September
of
2012.
He
seemed
to
give
up
on
life
and
passed
away
a
month
later.
Abbie
Johnson
Taylor
lives
in
Sheridan,
Wyoming
and
is
the
author
of
three
previously
published
books.
