Happy New Year! We are hip deep in inventory and looking forward to reopening on Wednesday at 10am with the store refreshed and clean.
This Saturday, January 10th at 11am, Rebecca Beyeris here to talk about her new book, The Complete Folk Herbal, adefinitive, beautifully illustrated guide to the folklore, history, and everyday utility of nearly 100 plants, trees, and shrubs. Reconnect with the wisdom of the land through this comprehensive guide from forager and ethnobotanist Rebecca Beyer. Richly illustrated and deeply researched, The Complete Folk Herbalcelebrates nearly 100 plants, each one steeped in story, tradition, and healing power. Keebe has studied with Rebecca, and she is a wonderful speaker/ teacher.
Next Saturday at 11am, January 17th, Death Faire comes to McIntyre's. Join Tammy Schwerin and her contributors as they discuss this collection of personal stories, essays, poetry and imagery, creating a space where death is no longer in the shadows, but embraced as an integral part of life.
Then at 2pm, Con Lehane will discuss his mystery The Red Scare Murderswith Eryk Pruitt. This wry, big-hearted noir brings 1950s New York to life, from the tenements of Hell’s Kitchen to the mansions of Riverdale, from Sing Sing to City Hall, with a gripping murder mystery laying bare the explosive conflicts between its big wheels, its working stiffs, its gangsters, and its dreamers. “Lehane’s pacing and hardboiled dialogue are hard to beat, and he makes the jittery paranoia of the period jump off the page. Fans of James Ellroy will get a kick out of this.” —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
And some sad news regarding CrimeScene. We got word Martin Walker will not be able to join us as he is recovering from an injury. We promise he will be fine, but just not able to travel right now. Fear not, we have another excellent speaker on tap.
The Usual Suspects,
Pete, Johanna, Sarah G., Tyler, Amy, Juliana, Sarah C. and Keebe
