Book signings
Thursday May 15th, 4pm - 8pm
We bring you Karl Lenker with his debut novel: Final Trumpet!
For a preview go to TaleWindsPress.com
Check out the poster here
Karl writes about things that matter – things that are relevant in today’s world.
His novels have depth and emotion – pathos, the Greeks called it.
The centerpiece of Final Trumpet is the magnificent African elephant, their lives, their world
and their struggle to survive mankind’s greed and arrogance.
GENRE
Final Trumpet is an ACTION-ADVENTURE novel with all the intricate plotting of a Clive Cussler or James Patterson book. It's a TECHNO-THRILLER with all the simplified technical description of your favorite Tom Clancy novel. Plus, women will enjoy the unlikely, unconventional and risky ROMANCE which develops.
INFORMATIVE / ENLIGHTENING
The best works of fiction teach readers something new without imitating textbooks.
By the time readers reach the epilogue, they will have learned a great deal about elephants, A-10s, snipers, the CIA and its TOP SECRET satellite imagery program, east Africa, U.S. military air operations, helicopters and aviation in general.

Book Club Update
The
Book Club is returning on June 10th and we will be reading
Richard Russo's Pulitzer Prize winning book, Empire Falls. The meeting will be
at the bookstore at 7pm. Please email or call to reserve
your spot.
ABOUT THIS BOOK
With Empire Falls Richard Russo cements his
reputation as one of America’s most compelling and compassionate
storytellers.
Miles Roby has been slinging burgers at the Empire Grill for 20 years,
a job that cost him his college education and much of his self-respect.
What keeps him there? It could be his bright, sensitive daughter Tick,
who needs all his help surviving the local high school. Or maybe it’s
Janine, Miles’ soon-to-be ex-wife, who’s taken up with a noxiously vain
health-club proprietor. Or perhaps it’s the imperious Francine Whiting,
who owns everything in town–and seems to believe that “everything”
includes Miles himself. In Empire Falls Richard Russo
delves deep into the blue-collar heart of America in a work that
overflows with hilarity, heartache, and grace.
About the Author
Richard Russo lives in coastal Maine with his wife and their two daughters. He has written five novels: Mohawk, The Risk Pool, Nobody’s Fool, Straight Man and Empire Falls, and a collection of short stories, The Whore's Child

We enjoyed the movie in the parking lot on Powder Springs Day when "They Went That-a-way and That-a-away" starring Tim Conway was shown. It was filmed right here in front of the store on Marietta Street over 25 years ago. We did sell out of the movies we had on hand but have some more on the way. Reserve your copy with a phone call or email.
Thanks to everyone who came out to our Fall Family Night on October 21st, it was a great success!
Check out some photos from the event:
