WARREN RICHEY - Without a Paddle DATE: Thursday, July 8 On Thursday, July 8 at 7 p.m. at Inkwood Books, journalist WARREN RICHEY will discuss and sign WITHOUT A PADDLE: RACING TWELVE HUNDRED MILES AROUND FLORIDA BY SEA KAYAK, his adventure memoir of a grueling round-the-clock kayak race. Richey expected to battle sharks and motorboats, but discovered his most difficult struggle was with middle-age doubt, questioning everything after his marriage failed, exploring what it means to be a father, a husband, and a man. Without a Paddle is a great addition to Florida literature, full of true adventure but also humor, humility and heart. Currently with the Christian Science Monitor, Richey splits his time between Florida and Washington, D.C., where he covers legal affairs and the U.S. Supreme Court. A stack of good books is the way to beat the heat. Our events with acclaimed authors and special offer for INKWOOD REGULARS give you lots to choose from during August and beyond.

SALES TAX HOLIDAY Friday, 13 - Sunday, August 15 As you shop for savings on school clothes and supplies, remember: the sales tax exemption also applies to ALL BOOKS for everyone, whether enrolled in kindergarten, college, or the school of life... JOHN BRANDON - "CITRUS COUNTY" Thursday, August 12, at 7 p.m. JOHN BRANDON will discuss and sign his new novel CITRUS COUNTY, a smart and subtle crime story out of rural Florida. The book centers around 14 year old Toby, whose slightly sociopathic tendencies are often at odds with his big-hearted desires. His world is altered by Shelby, a girl who at once unnerves and steadies him, who inspires him to want to be his best, but who unwittingly drives him to his very worst. Toby’s authentic adolescent struggles and the terrible road they lead him down make for a compelling and suspenseful read, and the heart that Brandon has imbued in his characters connects you to them in ways you may not expect. Clever, unexpected, and very 'Florida,' Citrus County is a book you won’t want to miss. Earlier novels include the widely acclaimed Arkansas, and Brandon's other endeavors have included working in a lumber mill, distributing Coca-Cola, and various warehouse and factory jobs, all while obsessing over Gator football. The New York Times says "With Citrus County John Brandon...subverts the expectations of an adolescent novel by staying true to the wild incongruities of adolescence, and subverts the expectations of a crime novel by giving us people who are more than criminals and victims. The result is a great story in great prose, a story that keeps you turning pages even as you want to slow to savor them, full of characters who are real because they are so unlikely...a very good book." TOM ANGLEBURGER - THE STRANGE CASE OF THE ORIGAMI YODA Saturday, August 14, at 2 p.m. Join us as TOM ANGLEBURGER discusses and signs his delightful book for middle readers (ages 8-12), THE STRANGE CASE OF THE ORIGAMI YODA. Written as a case file by 6th grader Tommy, this is a hilarious and touching story of how Dwight, the class oddball, becomes the center of attention with his mysterious origami Yoda finger puppet. Yoda not only predicts the future, but also offers invaluable advice for handling tricky situations. Booklist says "Angleberger’s rendering of such a middle-grade cultural obsession is not only spot-on but also reveals a few resonant surprises hidden in the folds. Naturally, Yoda- making instructions are included." Check out the author's blog for fun and more details! DIARY OF A WIMPY KID ICE CREAM TRUCK TOUR Thursday, August 19, at 4 p.m. Join us for a summer treat from the official DIARY OF A WIMPY KID ICE CREAM TRUCK. The decorated truck and Wimpy Kid staff will be on hand with free ice cream treats and bookmarks in the color of the next book in the wildly popular series (coming in November).

FINAL INSTALLMENT of HUNGER GAMES MOCKINGJAY RELEASE DATE Tuesday, August 24, at 12:01 a.m. Special FREE home delivery The highly anticipated final installment in the HUNGER GAMES trilogy, MOCKINGJAY, goes on sale on August 24. We're offering 20% off prepaid orders, with free overnight delivery in a limited area. Wake up to the book...and finish out the summer with a great off-the-reading-list adventure! DEBORAH SHARP - MAMA GETS HITCHED Thursday, August 26, at 7 p.m. Don't miss Deborah on the TODAY SHOW on Weds. August 25! Look for her interview sometime after 7:10... DEBORAH SHARP will read from and sign MAMA GETS HITCHED, her newest funny, Florida mystery featuring Mace Bauer and her Mama. Sharp’s books are lighthearted, while highlighting larger issues such as over-development, family bonds, and more - think Carl Hiaasen on estrogen. Mama is tying the sacred knot of matrimony - for the fifth time - but that’s no reason to scale back on her Wedding of the Century, complete with Scarlett O'Hara gowns and a ring-bearing Pomeranian in a top hat. But what's a bridezilla to do when her caterer winds up dead at the VFW before the first pig-in-a-blanket is passed? With a list of suspects longer than the gift registry, daughter Mace must find the killer before Mama's special day turns especially deadly. Publishers Weekly says: ''Sibling rivalry, steamy romance, a surprising killer, and plenty of catfish and hush puppies make this Southern cozy a winner.'' Sharp, a former reporter for USA Today, is a board member of the Florida chapter of Mystery Writers of America. The former Tampa resident now lives in Fort Lauderdale, with her husband NBC reporter Kerry Sanders. Plan ahead for this special event! CARL HIAASEN - STAR ISLAND Thursday, September 2, at 7 p.m. We are delighted to present CARL HIAASEN for a booktalk and signing of his new novel STAR ISLAND, a skewering tale of celebrity life. This special event will be held at the Florida Aquarium, 701 Channelside Drive in Tampa. Tickets are available only with purchase of Star Island from Inkwood, and first editions are available on the release date, July 27. The action begins when Ann, an undercover stunt double for often-indisposed (read: druggie) pop singer Cherry, is kidnapped by obsessed paparazzo Bang Abbott. Cherry's handlers (uber-stage mother, nipped/tucked/botoxed twin publicists, borderline pedophile producer, and weed-whacker wielding bodyguard) frantically try to get Ann back without revealing her existence to the public - or to Cherry herself. Skink, the charmingly unhinged former governor of Florida, has met Ann (don't ask - long, funny story) and appointed himself her protector, providing an unexpected challenge for Cherry's entourage. Hilarious, outrageous, yet full of unexpected warmth and insight, Star Island is another winner from a favorite Florida writer. (Please note: While Hiaasen has recently written three wonderful books for kids, this event will focus on Star Island, which is intended for adults.) MARK MUSTIAN - THE GENDARME Wednesday, September 8, at 6 p.m. MARK MUSTIAN will read from and sign THE GENDARME, an incredible book about Emmett Conn, a WWI vet who suffered a brain injury and resulting memory loss. Now an elderly man whose family and friends view him as suffering from senility, Emmett's recurring dreams of being a gendarme in Turkey during the Armenian genocide are becoming increasingly vivid as he is finally, seven decades later, remembering his role in the horrors of war. Ultimately Emmett must find a way to apologize, to correct his mistakes and find reconciliation. This is a remarkable love story, depicting how love can transcend nationalities, politics, and religion, how racism creates divisions where none truly exist, and how the human spirit fights to survive even in the face of hopelessness, offering a testament to the power and consequences of memory. Mustian is an attorney and city commissioner in Tallahassee. GET CAUGHT READING We are now accepting photos for our 7th Annual Get Caught Reading Contest.

Here are this month's UNCHAINED CHOICES, selected for you by Inkwood's booksellers, all 20% off this month: (As always, click on book cover for more info and to order.) THE BLUE NOTEBOOK by JAMES LEVINE –“At age 15, Batuk has endured six years of indentured servitude to a Mumbai brothel. Sold by her father as a young girl, she has found strength and solace through her own precociousness and big-hearted perspective. When by ‘divine decree’ she obtains a pencil, Batuk begins to write her life story. Drawing on memories both tragic and beautiful, we learn how Batuk came to be at the brothel, and she details her day to day existence like any teenager would. When given the ‘honor’ of entertaining at a private party, Batuk’s finds herself unwittingly thrust into a fight for survival. Heartrending, eye-opening, and hopeful, Levine’s fine novel will remain with you long after you’ve finished.” Amanda. Regularly $14; our price $11.20. BORDER SONGS by JIM LYNCH - "Lynch has written a novel than manages to bring to mind The Grapes of Wrath and The Milagro Beanfield Wars, while still being entirely original. Set on the northwest US-Canada border, Border Songs shows a town caught up in all it can't control - illegal immigrants, drug smuggling, inevitable disease and decline - and the individual ways each character faces these challenges. Set firmly, yet unwillingly, in the middle of it all is Brandon, the over-sized dyslexic pushed to join the Border Patrol. Brandon's vision, his ability and desire to see what others are blind to, makes him at once vulnerable and stronger than those around him. Filled with humor and insight, Lynch's novel is like the best of Richard Russo, pulling you in and changing the world before you." Leslie. Regularly $15; our price $12. THE BREAKING OF EGGS by JIM POWELL - “This is the story of Feliks Zhukovski, Polish by birth, Communist (make that ‘leftist’) at heart, who, at age 61, finds that just about everything he has based his life on is crumbling. Sole owner of a soon-to-be-outdated series of travel guides to Eastern Europe, Feliks, self- controlled and overly rational, falls ill and is forced by a chance remark (‘It's always good to be at home when you are ill’) to confront the fact that he has no sense of home. With great charm, humor and wisdom, (and a vast amount of modern European history), Powers tells of Feliks' rebirth from a political to an emotional creature. This story manages to take well-worn themes - the horrors of wars, the decisions made and misunderstood or regretted, the costs of political allegiances, the elasticity of families - and make them into a fresh and moving and remarkable story. Unforgettable.” Leslie. Regularly $15; our price $12. EVEN MONSTERS NEED HAIRCUTS by MATTHEW MCELLIGOTT – “This is a fabulous book that has one of some of my favorite themes in picture books: the nighttime adventures that silly, sleeping grown-ups never know about. The clever hero not only braves the dark, but he puts his father's barber shop to good use in the off-hours by giving haircuts to the neighborhood monsters. The illustrations are wonderful, and honor Sendak's little boy adventures In the Night Kitchen and Where the Wild Things Are. Lots of laughs for everyone in this winner.” Leslie. Regularly $14.99; our price $11.99. MEET THE AUTHOR: Manette Ansay visits us at the bookstore on September 16 at 7 p.m. Mark your calendar tday! GOOD THINGS I WISH YOU by A. MANETTE ANSAY - "This is a fascinating combination of the historical and contemporary novel, as Jeanette Hochmann, newly divorced single parent, struggles to complete her book on German pianist, Clara Schumann. Ansay fills her book with photographs, sketches and notes from the present and past, and while exploring the nature of the forty year relationship between Clara and Johannes Brahms, she also examines the nature of love and friendship between men and women. For readers like myself, unfamiliar with the life of Schumann, the book is impossible to put down." Leslie . Regularly $13.99; our price $11.19. A HAPPY MARRIAGE by RAFAEL IGLESIAS - “This is a somber and beautifully written book with a plot very close to the story of Iglesias' own marriage and career after breakout success with a first novel. The story spans 30 years, concentrating on the beginning of the courtship and the end of the wife's life, as they prepare for her death from cancer. Both inspiring and heartbreaking, this very intimate story is a realistic tribute to the enduring value of marriage with the ups and downs that 30 years must bring, in brilliant prose.” Carla. Regularly $16; our price $12.80. THE NEWS WHERE YOU ARE by CATHERINE O'FLYNN - "This is the second time I have chosen Flynn's work for my staff pick, and both novels are marked by the same combination of satire and sweetness. In this spirited literary mystery Frank Allcroft, a local news anchor, is experiencing a midlife crisis. Despite his reputation for corny on-screen remarks, Frank is drawn to loss - the demolition of the last of his architect father's postwar buildings, and the lonely deaths of the strangers in his newscasts. When his personal and professional mentor, Phil, is killed, Frank uncovers unexpected truths as he comes to terms with the need to move forward. Filled with great characters and Office-style humor, The News Where You Live is top of the pile." Leslie. Regularly $15; our price $12. STILTSVILLE by SUSANNA DANIEL – “Frances Ellerby travels to Miami in the summer of 1969 for a wedding and while there falls in love with Dennis DuVal, the luscious city of Miami, and the DuVal family home on stilts in the middle of Biscayne Bay. Frances is a likeable, honest narrator and the book is a beautiful study on a marriage that, while not perfect, is heartbreakingly tender. The book’s time period of 1969-1992 and the social changes in Florida during those years also adds to its exceptional story.” Avery. Regularly $24.99, our price $21.39. THIS IS WHERE I LEAVE YOU by JONATHAN TROPPER – “Tropper brings together Judd Foxman’s dysfunctional family, forced by his mother to honor his non-observant father’s inexplicable dying wish for them to sit shiva. During this solid week under the same roof, old secrets, new life-altering choices, jealousy and resentment compete for attention, while Judd also processes the unexpected breakup of his marriage and loss of his job, after walking in on his wife and boss in bed together. Smart, touching, hilarious with plenty of truths about siblings, divorce, and more.” Carla. Regularly $15; our price $12. THIS MUST BE THE PLACE by KATE RACCULIA - "This is one of the most engaging books I have read in a while. A quirky cast of characters come together to make up a highly entertaining, touching book. Chief among them are: Oneida Jones, a self-described freak who has embraced her oddness; her mother Mona, wedding cake baker and proprietress of the Darby-Jones boardinghouse; and Arthur Rook, a recently widowed photographer who believes he can ‘see’ the real essence of a person. You will come to love these characters and this book!" Avery. Regularly $25; our price $20. THE THOUSAND AUTUMNS OF JACOB DE ZOET by DAVID MITCHELL – “I’ll be so bold to say that The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet is one of the finest novels I’ve read in a long while. Part historical narrative, part love story, part adventure epic, Mitchell’s book is everything you want fiction to be in one beautifully composed volume. Young clerk Jacob de Zoet has been sent to Dejima, an artificial island owned by the Dutch East India Company, positioned off the coast of Japan during its self-imposed isolation. His charge is to amend the company’s rampant corruption by fixing the books, but this is only his beginning. He falls in love with a talented young midwife, and their lives become entwined in a world of secrecy, religious zealotry and murder. Thousand Autumns will intrigue you, delight you, and break your heart.” Amanda. Regularly $25; our price $20. TOBY AND THE SECRETS OF THE TREE by TIMOTHEE DE FOMBELLE – “Hooray for the thrilling sequel to Fombelle’s YA novel Toby Alone! Toby has been living with the Grass People for some time now, but decides to return to the Tree and fight for his family, friends, and the future of their world. This time around, however, Toby is not alone. A resistance is forming against Leo Blue and Joe Mitch, whose tyrannical regime has oppressed the people and nearly destroyed the eco-system of the Tree. Toby must pull together the various revolutionary factions, save Elisha, and bring harmony to the peoples of the Grass and the Tree, all before the Tree itself is destroyed. Don’t miss the conclusion to this fantastic story!” Amanda. Regularly $16.99; our price $13.59. And we are still accepting photos for our 7th Annual GET CAUGHT READING PHOTO CONTEST.

Williams at cylum@tampabay.rr.com Hello everyone! Here's a weather related anecdote that will make you cry. My son and his girlfriend befriended the guitar player from a 80s era Ska band called "The Specials." He invited them to come to England (where he and the band are from) to visit any time and stay with his family. Well Ian (my son) and his lady friend went a couple of days ago. They are in Manchester, according to Wikipedia, a city of 465,000 people. Ian said the locals were complaining that it was too hot... and it's been 55-60 degrees (fahrenheit not celsius)! It's just not fair. Thank you poets, once again for being a part of Poets Live!

Listen to WOCA (Ocala), WTIS AM (Tampa Bay) at 1 PM every Saturday, WRBH 88.3 (New Orleans) and NPR 88.9 weekdays during drive time. Recent guests include Elizabeth Gaffney (Metropolis), David Leavitt (The Indian Clerk) and upcoming in 2008, Bret Anthony Johnston (Naming the World), Abigail Thomas (Safekeeping), Tom Brokaw, author of "The Greatest Generation," who discusses his newest book. Margo Hammond THE BOOK BABES PROGRAM: WMNF-FM 88.5 Check out the next Book Babes radio show today (January 16) at 11:30 a.m., airing on WMNF-FM 88.5 in Tampa. The program also streams on the Internet at that time at www.wmnf.org. If you miss the live show, no worries. All the programs are now being archived on the WMNF site as -- although it's still a bit of a slog to find them (we're working on that): Click On Demand at the left of the Home Page, then Archives, then Public Affairs (just below Alan Watts on the schedule grid) then The Book Babes and finally scroll down to the archives. Thanks for being patient! On the January 16 program, The Book Babes discuss the news of Tom Wolfe's latest book and give some juicy book recommendations: "The Sound of Language: A Novel" by Amulya Malladi, an original trade paperback from Ballantine (Margo's pick) and "Once Upon a Quinceanera," by Julia Alvarez, out from Viking (Ellen's pick). In the show's final segment, Margo talks to Ellen when she's in San Francisco participating in the first ever West Coast board meeting of the National Book Critics Circle (first ever out-side-of-New-York board meeting, in fact). The NBCC board gathered to pick the finalists for its annual awards. Ellen, chair of the Autobiography committee, talks about two books -- two very different diaries -- she was backing in that category: "The Journals of Joyce Carol Oates, 1973–1982," by Joyce Carol Oates (Ecco) and "Russian Diary: A Journalist's Final Account of Life, Corruption and Death in Putin's Russia," Anna Politkovskaya (Random House). As you can see below, both made the final cut. So did Alvarez's "Once Upon a Quinceanera." So, Ellen was three for three.

| Hispanic Latino Chicano Writers 2010 Top Ten "New" Latino Authors to Watch (and Read) 1) Carolina de Robertis, author of The Invisible Mountain has written a book that is ready for film rights. This Uruguayan-American author knows how to make fiction seem real and close to home. Already named one of the Ten Best Books of 2009 by O Magazine and listed among the Top Ten Best First Novels of 2009 by Booklist, this book should have more honors coming its way. 2) Raina J. León, author of Canticle of Idols has a distinct poetic voice that reminds me of old Billie Holiday records. Maybe that's because that's when reading her poems, one can't help but see the smiles and the cries coming together. As a past Cave Canem Graduate Fellow, she has joined an impressive list of authors who have been associated with f that program. 3) Silvio Sirias, author of Meet Me Under the Ceiba, has written one of the best written books that has ever come out of Arte Publico Press. While we recognize that this is not his first novel (he published Bernardo and the Virgin in 2005), the Nicaraguan-American author has barely gotten the attention he deserves. The plot will keep any reader captivated. 4) Diana Rodriguez Wallach, author of Amigas and School Scandals, and Adios to All the Drama, gets the young adult reader. In fact, this book was first recommended by a young Latina fan who came across our website as part of a school project. 5) Leila Cobo, author of Tell Me Something True, tells us something lyrical in this novel. The Colombian-born Cobo weaves a tale about a mother and her daughter who is a piano prodigy. It is primarily a love story, but it accomplishes so much more as it delves into the ways we explore our past. 6) Carlos Cisneros, author of The Case Runner, has written a mystery that could have only been written by someone with his background. An attorney, Cisneros has written a book that will make you question what goes on behind the scenes in cases of corruption. 7) Dahlma Llanos-Figueroa, author of Daughters of the Stone, has written a novel that spans generations and covers a rarely touched upon topic in literature--African slaves in Puerto Rico and their descendants. Llanos-Figueroa's work is magical in more ways than one. 8) Jennine Capó Crucet, author of How to Leave Hialeah, is one talented short-story writer. In an age where not enough publishers are paying attention to short story collections, this author has put together captivating pieces that are raw and full of humor and twists. 9) Carlos Frías, author of Take Me With You: A Memoir, has made a great contribution to the genre of autobiography/memoir and to the impressive list of Cuban American authors who have told their tales about their experiences. This memoir is up there with one of my all-time favorites, the National Book Award Winner, Waiting for Snow in Havana, by Carlos Eire. 10) The Latino Writers Collective, a group of authors from Kansas City, Missouri, is the Latino engine that could. The group has put together Cuentos del Centro: Stories From the Latino Heartland and Primera Pagina: Poetry from the Latino Heartland, and in so doing, has reminded the U.S. that Latinos are present everywhere amidst cities, towns, farms, and yes, even among tornadoes.

Resources: SheFinds Seeks Freelance Writers *************************************************************** BEFORE YOU SEND IT OUT "Although I hired Marcela Landres to edit a particular manuscript, her wisdom has transformed the way I look at the craft of writing and the business of publishing. Working with her has improved everything I write. Regardless of the work-in-progress or whether I am in the creative or promotional process, I revisit and consult Marcela's detailed notes with great success. No matter what your project is, you can't go wrong hiring Marcela Landres. You can only get in your own way by choosing to not heed her advice." —Sofia Quintero, author of Efrain's Secret and Divas Don't Yield Ready to work with a professional editor? Visit http://www.marcelalandres.com/services.html *************************************************************** Saludos Some poems delight, some confound, some intrigue—Carmen Gimenez Smith's collection Odalisque in Pieces does all three. My favorite line? "One lets go of will/or becomes the shrapnel of it" from the poem "Vacation as Prelude." Read this month's Q&A to learn more. Helping Latinos get published, Marcela Landres marcelalandres@yahoo.com http://www.marcelalandres.com/ 2. Q&A Carmen Gimenez Smith is an assistant professor of creative writing at New Mexico State University, and publisher for Noemi Press as well as editor-in-chief of Puerto del Sol. Her work has most recently appeared in jubilat, Ploughshares, and Colorado Review and is forthcoming in A Public Space, Denver Quarterly, and New American Writing. Her collection of poetry, Odalisque in Pieces, was published by the University of Arizona Press in 2009. A memoir called Bring Down the Little Birds will be published by University of Arizona Press in 2010. For more information, visit http://www.noemipress.org/ Q: Which author or book inspires you, and why? A: I think the book that I most often return to is The Collected Poems of Wallace Stevens. I always make wonderful new discoveries there. Recent books that I love are Undocumentaries by Rosa Alcala and Couer de Lion by Ariana Reines. In both cases, I love those books because of their toughness. Two other poets I often return to are Alice Notley and James Wright. Q: Why do you love to write? A: I don't know that I love to write as much as I love to fix things, which is the great thing about working on writing. I like to solve problems and arrange things, objects, ideas. Q: Who is your agent and how did you meet him/her? A: I don't have an agent. Most poets don't. I have a nonfiction book coming out next year; perhaps then it will be necessary. Nobody is beating at my door yet, though. Q: What is your writing ritual? A: I take a lot of notes in the dozens of notebooks I have lying around the house. I must admit to composing most of my poems on the computer, but then I print them and rewrite them in longhand when I'm revising. I have two kids, so I write whenever I can, mostly at night. Q: Other than honing their craft, what advice would you give to Latino writers looking to land a book deal? A: I don't know how one lands a book deal! Being a great writer is important, as is knowing how to promote your work. A book deal seems to be like winning the lottery. 3.

It is well written, highly informative, and humorous—I found myself laughing out-loud in a few spots!
