Nov. 6 at 2:00 pmPerkins, a native of Flagstaff, Arizona, brings a very human and endearing novel about a young Navajo mix-blood growing up on the Reservation. From having run ins with the law, experiencing first hand the dangers of alcohol and drug abuse, James attempts to get his life straight. However, his life changes when James creates a heavy metal rez band- Putrefaction. A moving story that chronicles many of the social issues plaguing local Reservation life in the Southwest.  Rucka, Greg. Last Run. $25.00 Signed Wed. Nov. 3 at 7:00 pm. Pat King says, "I have had read just about everything that Rucka has written and I am always amazed at his versatility. I started reading his graphic novels- he always managed to take your standard super-hero character and twist their characteristics to give them a more human edge. Rather than reading about a super-powered human you had a human who happened to have super-powers (flaws and all). However, I was really hooked after reading Finder- taking his character Atticus Kodiak and watching his progression from body-guard to hit man. Rucka's latest Queen and Country novel, The Last Run does not disappoint. Tara Chase, British Secret Agent, burnt out from her last adventure wants nothing more than a desk job and the chance to heal emotionally. However, when an important Iranian political figure wants to defect- Chase is called in for one last mission. The emotionally raw Chase must make some hard decisions in order to extract him. This is my current favorite within his Queen and Country series!"  Tohe, Laura. Tseyi Deep in the Rock- Reflections on Canyon de Chelly. $15.00 Signed Sat. Nov. 6 at 2:00 pm.Tohe is one of the finest current Native American writers today. Tseyi- is a wonderful book noting the historical, archaeological and cultural importance of Canyon de Chelly (pronounced Shellay). Beautifully written- with beautiful photographs to couple the text- this is a beautiful gift for any southwestern enthusiast.

Thank you for supporting The Poisoned Pen, and Poisoned Pen Press, winner of the 2010 Ellery Queen Award from the Mystery Writers of America.
Everyone needs an editor (which is why I warn you away from self-published books whether you are an author wishing to produce one, or a reader....)
Jeffery Deaver will be celebrating my birthday with me, a special treat, onDECEMBER 7, not November 7 as I wrote
Pearl Harbor took place almost a full year after I was born, so I can't claim to be a member of the Greatest Generation. But I like to think some of its standards are part of me.
Rob, and kids, and I are going to Egypt and Petra to celebrate: my birthday is also our 20th wedding anniversary, a canny move worked out by both of us so there is always something to look forward to instead of bemoan each time another birthday rolls around.
More celebrations are planned including a party with Graham Moore, a new author with First Mystery Pick The Sherlockian (Little Brown $26) on Dec. 15.
Jon Talton had planned to add another layer to the festivities but he's had some surgery and thus will join us to sign a new David Mapstone, South Phoenix Rules (Poisoned Pen $25) in January. If you can't wait or want copies for gifts, we will have some Signed copies for you at the end of November. There is also a trade paperback edition ($15).
