Book signings, readings

September 25, 2008
5 PM to 7 PM (Thursday)
Mars Life

Ben Bova will sign his lastest book, Mars Life, which is a conclusion to his earlier books featuring Jamie Waterman, Mars (1992) and Return to Mars (1999).

Pulsing with intensity and action, and resonating with hope and purpose, Mars Life by legendary author Ben Bova will draw fans and newcomers in from the very first page. Bova deftly captures the excitement of scientific discovery and planetary exploration in a compelling story, balancing action and plausible political intrigue.

Scientist/professor Waterman is caught in a struggle to prove that life once existed on Mars. The increasing influence of religious fundamentalists and a global energy crisis threaten to foil the greatest scientific discovery of generations. The U.S. govenment puts up blocks at every point as he and his wife wife return to Mars in a last-ditch effort to save the Mars program’s funding and uncover who the vanished Martians were.

We are busy setting up a book signing and a negotiating with Klages' publisher to have her visit New Mexico. Nothing is final yet.

We hope to have Frank Hadley Murphy with us to share tea and his book, The Spirit of Tea. This event will be held at Cookin' in Style. Tea lovers will embrace this book, not only for its practical information about tea, but also for its invitation to awaken the spirit of tea in their lives. Date will be announced.
