Highlands Ranch: Wendy Webb, the author of The Tale of Halcyon Crane—the 2011 winner of the Minnesota Book Award for genre fiction, and an Indie Next Pick from the Independent Booksellers Association—will read from and sign her new novel The Fate of Mercy Alban (Hyperion). Grace Alban has spent more than twenty years avoiding her childhood home, the stately Alban House on the shores of Lake Superior, for reasons she would rather forget. But when her mother’s unexpected death brings Grace and her teenage daughter back, she finds more is haunting the halls and passageways of Alban House than her own personal demons!"Wendy Webb is a professional journalist, first and foremost. Like those
journalistic masters Dickens and Twain before her, she knows that to
write good travel prose, you must give a vivid account of both the
demons you find along the way and the demons you bring along with
you.”—Michael Alec Rose, BookPage Can’t make it to the signing? Request an autographed copy here: books@tatteredcover.com Wendy Webb’s website

Historic LoDo: Journalist and author James Dziezynski’s love of adventure started in New England’s mountains and oceans. Following a National Outdoor Leadership School mountaineering course in Wyoming’s Wind River Mountains, he was eventually drawn to Colorado. His adventures have taken him into the Arctic, Greenland, the jungles of several Caribbean islands, Mexico, the American and Canadian Rockies, and just about every U.S. state. Dziezynski will discuss and sign the new edition of his bestselling book Best Summit Hikes in Colorado, 2nd Ed. (Wilderness Press), in which he has meticulously selected more than 50 superlative hikes. Each summit is included because of a notable
feature—whether it’s the site of a ghost mine or airplane wreckage, has
thundering waterfalls or colorful floral meadows, is best for
spotting wildlife or bringing out-of-town friends, or is very
accessible. Can’t make it to the signing? Request an autographed copy here: books@tatteredcover.com

Colfax Avenue: Margot Berwin, author of the bestselling debut Hothouse Flower and the Nine Plants of Desire, will read from and sign her new novel Scent of Darkness (Pantheon). In this eagerly anticipated second novel, Berwin takes readers deep into the bayous of Louisiana, to a world of fortune-tellers, soothsayers, and potent elixirs. Scent of Darkness is a magical, seductive story about the power of scent, and about what happens when a perfume renders a young woman irresistible.“Berwin follows Hothouse Flower and the Nine Plants of Desire with a tale about the mysterious and luscious world of the aromata,
professional perfume makers. . . . Berwin’s prose is poetic and
measured, and her enchanting novel will leave readers searching for a
scent of their own.” —Amber Peckham, Booklist Can’t make it to the signing? Request an autographed copy here: books@tatteredcover.com
