SUMMARY:Bookshops and Bonedust with Travis Baldree
DESCRIPTION:It’s finally happening! We can’t wait to welcome Travis Baldree to Grand Rapids (his last scheduled appearance had to be scratched due to Covid.) Come discover his newest book\, a novel of high fantasy\, first loves\, and second hand books. \nThis event is free to attend. However space is limited\, so registration is required: https://schulerbooks-travisbaldree.eventbrite.com \nAbout the Book:\nWhen an injury throws a young\, battle-hungry orc off her chosen path\, she may find that what we need isn’t always what we seek. \nSet in the world of New York Times bestselling Legends & Lattes\, Travis Baldree’s Bookshops & Bonedust takes us on a journey of high fantasy\, first loves\, and second-hand books. \nViv’s career with the notorious mercenary company Rackam’s Ravens isn’t going as planned. \nWounded during the hunt for a powerful necromancer\, she’s packed off against her will to recuperate in the sleepy beach town of Murk—so far from the action that she worries she’ll never be able to return to it. \nWhat’s a thwarted soldier of fortune to do? \nSpending her hours at a beleaguered bookshop in the company of its foul-mouthed proprietor is the last thing Viv would have predicted\, but it may be both exactly what she needs and the seed of changes she couldn’t possibly imagine. \nStill\, adventure isn’t all that far away. A suspicious traveler in gray\, a gnome with a chip on her shoulder\, a summer fling\, and an improbable number of skeletons prove Murk to be more eventful than Viv could have ever expected. \n“Take a break from epic battles and saving the world. This is a low-stakes fantasy that delivers exactly what’s advertised: a wholesome\, cozy novel that feels like a warm hug. This is my new comfort read.”—Genevieve Gornichec\, author of The Witch’s Heart\, on Legends & Lattes \n  \nAbout the Author:\nTravis Baldree is a full-time audiobook narrator who has lent his voice to hundreds of stories. Before that\, he spent decades designing and building video games like Torchlight\, Rebel Galaxy\, and Fate. Apparently\, he now also writes books. He lives in the Pacific Northwest with his very patient family and their small\, nervous dog.
