Highlands Ranch: Bryan Gruley is the Chicago bureau chief of the Wall Street Journal. An award winning journalist, Gruley shared in the Pulitzer Prize given to the Wall Street Journal in 2002 for coverage of the September 11 terrorist attacks. Gruley will read from and sign his new novel The Hanging Tree ($15.00 Touchstone). The second book in Gruley’s irresistible Starvation Lake series, The Hanging Tree is a compelling story about family and friendship, sex and violence, and the failure of love to make everything right. “Haunting, observant, and filled with complex characters that will remind you just how much you don’t trust your neighbors. The Hanging Tree will pry its way into your imagination. And it won’t leave.” —Brad Meltzer

Historic LoDo: Naturalist, adventurer, desert ecologist, and frequent contributor to National Public Radio’s Morning Edition, Craig Childs’ bestselling books include Crossing Paths, The Desert Cries, and The Secret Knowledge of Water. Childs will read from and sign his new book Finders Keepers: A Tale of Archaeological Plunder and Obsession ($24.99 Little, Brown). Beyond what most people think about archaeology—with its cleanly numbered dates, and discoveries—lies a vibrant and controversial realm of scientists, thieves, and contested land claims. In his new book, Childs explores the field’s transgressions against the cultures it tries to preserve and pauses to ask: To whom does the past belong? Written in Childs’ trademark lyrical style, this riveting book carries readers directly into his adventures and discoveries, lifting the curtain on the ethical dilemmas and dark side of archaeology.

Delaney will read from and sign his new novel Venetia Kelly’s Traveling Show ($26.00 Random House). Teeming with intrigue, pathos, and humor, Venetia Kelly’s Traveling Show explores two of Ireland’s great national passions: theater and politics. Writing with his signature mastery and lyrical prose, Frank Delaney once again delivers an unforgettable story as big and boisterous as the people and events it chronicles.

Request a signed copy: books@tatteredcover.com Frank Delaney’s wife, Diane Meier, is the author of The New American Wedding, and president of Meier, a New York City-based marketing firm. Her career spans from writing and design to public speaking. Meier will read from and sign her first novel The Season of Second Chances ($25.00 Henry Holt). “Sure to be much-loved and often-shared, this graceful, funny novel nudges its characters and readers toward self renewal, change, and a chance for greater happiness. Diane Meier’s liberating novel values both the arcane scholarship of college professors and the practical, artistic insights of handymen and real estate agents. Like The Secret Life Of Bees, this brave, warm novel suggests that for a person who has the courage to seize a second chance, there’s also the opportunity for a rewarding third chance, or fourth, of fifth” —Sena Jeter Naslund Visit Diane Meier’s website.
