Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, HAUNTING INVESTIGATION (Smoke and Shadow Books, Hardcover, $27.99) - Saturday, February 13th at 3:00 pm - Chelsea Quinn Yarbro is an award-winning author of over seventy novels, and she’s coming to Borderlands to celebrate the release of the fifth book in her noir 1920's detective series The Chesterton Holte Mysteries!  From the publisher: "Spring 1924. The world has clawed its way back from the ravages of WWI and the Spanish Flu pandemic.  The 20's are beginning to roar.  Poppy Thornton lives with her Aunt Jo and her excitable cat Maestro in upper-crust Philadelphia.  Poppy is determined to make a name for herself as a serious crime reporter, but is stuck reporting on garden parties and ladies' fashion. Then one day her editor assigns her to collect background information on the suicide of a prominent businessman. She soon discovers it was actually a murder . . . but her surprising source for this information is the ghost of a man killed alongside her father during the Great War. Even if she dared tell anyone, who would believe it?  Together Poppy and her "gentleman haunt" follow the trail of a string of murders. But as their investigation narrows in on an all-too-familiar suspect, Poppy becomes a target herself and wonders if her ghost of a partner will appear in time to keep her from joining him in the after-life." Join us to meet this distinguished author and explore a dark ghostly mystery!

Meet Arwen Curry, filmmaker--"Worlds of Ursula K. Le Guin" - Sunday, February 14th at 3:00 pm - We are happy to welcome filmmaker Arwen Curry, who is creating the first documentary to explore the "remarkable life and legacy" of the amazing Ursula K. Le Guin!  Ms. Curry has been working on the project for seven years, and has filmed dozens of hours of interviews with Ms. Le Guin.  From The Guardian UK: The film "was awarded a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities last summer, but the funds will only be released once the entire production budget for the project has been raised.  So Curry has turned to Kickstarter to crowdfund the remaining $80,000. . . that the film needs in order to be completed."  We invite you to meet Arwen and hear about her incredible plans for the film.  If you'd like to contribute to the Kickstarter, the link is here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/arwencurry/worlds-of-ursula-k-le-guin
