C. N. Kuster -- "The Bloodweaver"
Featured Book
The Bloodweaver
A divisive magic. A shattered family. A brewing war.
In a world where some can manipulate life with a single touch, siblings fight on rival sides, forced to reckon with the choices that led them there.
Three generations ago, ancient and mysterious beings introduced the world to the arcane art of Bloodweaving, which allows its practitioners to manipulate life with merely a touch. Now, Bloodweavers must hide in plain sight or risk being hunted by violent regime soldiers known as Breakers, who will stop at nothing to eradicate weaving once and for all.
Though his family's vineyard has flourished thanks to Bloodweaving, Kerick DeLuvena has kept his powers a secret from everyone, including his beloved fellow triplets, Mel and Emiel. When a squad of Breakers arrives on the day of Emiel's wedding, Kerick weaves himself a new face and flees to protect his family, setting out in search of the Ravel, a secret society of Bloodweavers who stand on the precipice of an uprising.
Meanwhile, Mel's girlfriend is identified as a Bloodweaver and arrested. Devastated by so much loss, Mel hatches a plan to get captured in the same raid, hoping to protect her love at all costs, even if it means allying herself with the Breakers' ruthless commander and serving the very force that tore her family apart.
As the consequences of the siblings' diverging paths ripple across a divided and hostile world, both must eventually face the same question: Is Bloodweaving a miracle--or a curse?
The gripping debut of the Weaver Saga is perfect for fans of The Fifth Season and Jade City.
This book will be available for purchase at the event.

Steve McIntosh -- "Truth Emerging"
Steve McIntosh will speak about and sign Truth Emerging: A Developmental Philosophy of Purpose and Progress, on Tuesday, November 17th at 6:30pm, at the Boulder Bookstore. Tickets for this event are $5 (plus a small processing fee) and are available on Eventbrite HERE.About the Book:Recent breakthroughs in science and philosophy are beginning to disclose the deeper meanings behind our evolving universe. As Steve McIntosh argues, this emerging understanding of nature and history reveals humanity's higher purpose: to further human evolution by fostering the spiritual growth of people, the cultural growth of civilization, and the maturation of our relationship with nature.In response to the gloomy zeitgeist of our time, Truth Emerging provides a renewed vision of purpose and progress. This counter-cultural message of hope and courage can help us rediscover philosophy's power to bring about positive social change.Written in two parts, Questions and Commentary, the book addresses twenty vital questions for developmental philosophy with brief, accessible answers before expanding upon each answer with commentary that delves into the deeper dimensions of this philosophy of evolution.IMPORTANT TICKETING AND EVENT INFORMATIONTickets are $5 (plus a small processing fee).A coupon good for $5 off a copy of Truth Emerging, or a purchase on the day of the event is included with your ticket.
