Hammond says, I want to let the reader feel what it is like to be lost and the elation of being found. At the center of his fiction books is the joyous character of Boo the-wonder-dog. Dogs do things for us we cannot do for ourselves. In their drive to please they will go into the worst conditions and find people clinging to hope on the worst day of their lives. Scott is a search and rescue volunteer for one of the busiest teams in the US, and speaks and trains internationally to help teams become better. He is a professor at Utah State University.

Join Indigenous poet, Elise Paschen for a reading and signing from her new book of poetry, Blood Wolf Moon. This event is open to the public. Tickets are $5. Copies of the book will be available to purchase at the event. You may also pre-order your copy of Blood Wolf Moon to pick up at the event by either calling the store at 801-484-9100 or ordering online. If you cannot make this event, signed copies of Blood Wolf Moon may be ordered from our website. Please specify in the comments if you would like your copy personalized. Places in the signing line are reserved for those who purchase a copy from The King's English. About the Book: In her riveting sixth poetry collection, Blood Wolf Moon, Elise Paschen explores the story lines of her Osage heritage. The core of the book grapples with a dark period of American history, “The Reign of Terror,” when outsiders murdered individual members of the Osage for their oil headrights. Paschen searches her cultural past and family history in poems about the land, ancestors, childhood, loss, nature, transformation, flight, and language. In this cinematic book, she builds drama in overlapping narratives, reinventing ways to approach the line on the page. Described by poet Timothy Donnelly as “one of today’s most formally astute poets,” Paschen opens Blood Wolf Moon with the long poem, “Heritage,” a bracelet of crown poems, then shifts registers to formal poems and prose sequences. Poet and editor Esther Belin calls the concluding poems with their use of Osage language, “significant leaps into literary sovereignty.” Blood Wolf Moon captivates with its emotional intensity and unrelenting quest for the translation of identity. It’s a book you can’t put down. Information Source: The King's English Bookshop | eventbrite

Each book will come with a signed copy of Not Safe for Work. Doors will open at 6 and the event starts at 7 PM. We will hear from Nisha and Lyla, following their conversation we will have a Q&A portion. We will then have readers meet Nisha and Lyla and have an opportunity to get their book(s) signed and personalized. Nisha will be personalizing one book and signing two others. About Not Safe for Work Rival engineers dabble in personal chemistry while at a tropical company retreat in this smart, zippy romcom. Engineer Trishara Malik once dreamed of being the first woman of color to smash the glass ceiling at WMC Purcell, but after years of dealing with white male privilege and blatant nepotism, she watches her hard-earned promotion go to her nemesis, Rafe Gallagher—the boss’s son. Teetering on the edge of burnout, Tris is stunned when she’s picked to attend WMC's corporate leadership retreat in Hawaii. It’s a chance to revive her stalled career and compete for a coveted spot in an executive training program—plus, three weeks in paradise! The only downside? Rafe is her co-attendee. Tris plans to avoid Rafe entirely, but when she arrives in Maui, a booking error has them stuck sharing the honeymoon suite. Sure, it’s not all torture. Rafe is a smoldering ten—okay fine, an eleven—but after years of competition, they can barely stand being in the same time zone. As they vie against each other during aptitude tests and team-building exercises, Tris begins to realize Rafe might not be the villain after all. With her dreams at stake, can she learn to trust the man who might have been standing in her corner all along? Information Source: Lovebound Library | eventbrite

This is a ticketed event and will take place at Rowland Hall Upper School. Each ticket includes one signed hardcover copy of Let Them Stare. There will not be a signing line. If you have questions for JVN or Julie please email marketing@kingsenglish.com About the Book From Emmy Award winner Jonathan Van Ness ofQueer Eyeand #1New York Timesbestselling author Julie Murphy comes a bighearted story about friendship, love—and discovering the secrets and beauty of your own hometown. Sully is ready to get out of Hearst, Pennsylvania. With a fashion internship secured, the gender-nonconforming eighteen-year-old is trading in their stifling small town for the big city. Sully even sells their beloved car, to Bread—er, Brad—the most boring (and maybe only other) gay kid in town. When Sully’s internship goes up in smoke, they’re trapped in Hearst with no cash—and no car. Desperate, they go to the thrift store, their personal sanctuary. There, they discover a vintage bag—like put this baby in an airtight case at the MET vintage. If Sully can authenticate it, the resale value would be enough for a new life in the city. But when they begin to investigate, Sully finds themself haunted. Literally. With the ghost of Rufus, a drag performer from the fifties with no memory of how he died standing—no, floating—in their bedroom, Sully’s summer has a new purpose: 1) help this ghostly honey unlock his past and move on and 2) make bank—after all, the Real Real doesn’t take poltergeist purses. With Rufus in tow, and Brad—who’s looking pretty scrumptious these days—playing chauffeur, Sully delves into the history of the town they’re so desperate to escape. Only to discover that there might be more to Hearst than they ever knew. Information Source: The King's English Bookshop | eventbrite

There, they discover a vintage bag—like "put this baby in an airtight case at the MET" vintage. If Sully can authenticate it, the resale value would be enough for a new life in the city. But when they begin to investigate, Sully finds themself haunted. Literally. With the ghost of Rufus, a drag performer from the fifties with no memory of how he died standing—no, floating—in their bedroom, Sully’s summer has a new purpose: 1) help this ghostly honey unlock his past and move on and 2) make bank—after all, the Real Real doesn’t take poltergeist purses. With Rufus in tow, and Brad—who’s looking pretty scrumptious these days—playing chauffeur, Sully delves into the history of the town they’re so desperate to escape. Only to discover that there might be more to Hearst than they ever knew. Information Source: The King's English Bookshop | eventbrite

Since their formation in 1999, Bleeding Through has exploded out of the Orange County underground, merging the unrelenting aggression of hardcore punk with the soaring melodies of Swedish death metal. Fronted by the fierce Brandan Schieppati (also of Eighteen Visions), alongside Derek Youngsma (drums), Marta Demmel (keys), John Arnold and Brandon Richter (guitars), the band helped define an era of metalcore—moving over 400,000 albums worldwide. Known for their chaotic energy and unforgettable live performances, Bleeding Through returns to Salt Lake City for the first time since 2010. This is a rare chance to witness a true metalcore juggernaut in action. Miss it, and regret it. Tickets available Saturday, April 12, 2025 at 10:00am MST.
