SUMMARY:Indie Press Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join the Narrow Gauge Book Cooperative for their discussion of The Sapling Cage by Margaret Killjoy\, published by The Feminist Press. \nAbout the Book: In the gripping first novel in the Daughters of the Empty Throne trilogy\, author Margaret Killjoy spins a tale of earth magic\, power struggle\, and self-invention in a powerful story of trans witchcraft. Lorel has always dreamed of becoming a witch: learning magic\, fighting monsters\, and exploring the world beyond the small town where she and her mother run the stables. Even though a strange plague is killing the trees in the Kingdom of Cekon and witches are being blamed for it\, Lorel wants nothing more than to join them. There’s only one problem: all witches are women\, and she was born a boy. \nWhen the coven comes to claim her best friend\, Lorel disguises herself in a dress and joins in her friend’s place\, leaving home and her old self behind. She soon discovers the dark powers threatening the kingdom: a magical blight scars the land\, and the power-mad Duchess Helte is crushing everything between her and the crown. In spite of these dangers\, Lorel makes friends and begins learning magic from the powerful witches in her coven. However\, she fears that her new friends and mentors will find out her secret and kick her out of the coven\, or worse.

SUMMARY:Book Signing and Meet & Greet will Bill Heersink
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Narrow Gauge Book Cooperative for your chance to meet and chat with Bill Heersink\, and to get a signed copy of his book\, A Tale of Two Colonies: Dutch Calvinists\, Danish and Southern States Saints in Colorado’s San Luis Valley. \nAbout the book: A five-million-acre expanse waiting to be populated and cultivated; two devout religious groups taking up the challenge with grand visions: Dutch Calvinists with projections to double this valley’s 1880s population of around 12\,500 and Latter-day Saints with prophecies to fill it to overflowing. \nBill Heersink explores the question: why this place for these people? The major role their religious faith played is integral to an understanding of these colonists’ experience\, both in their decision to participate and in their responses to formidable obstacles. Their sense of a divine destiny and trust (or mistrust) in their church’s leaders will emerge frequently as the story unfolds. \nThe overall narrative is illustrated with a multitude of fascinating memories from the lives of the individual persons and families whose lives intersected during the nineteenth century’s last quarter in Colorado’s San Luis Valley. \nBill Heersink grew up in the San Luis Valley and graduated from Alamosa High School. For the past fifty years he has lived in Ogden\, Utah\, serving as a parish pastor\, theology professor and refugee resettlement volunteer. Presently he keeps busy gardening and writing. He and his wife\, Claire (also from Alamosa)\, have never lost their fondness for the valley and have returned almost annually.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Frank Haug
DESCRIPTION:Join the Narrow Gauge Book Cooperative in welcome Frank Haug for a reading\, Q&A\, and signing of his book\, In a Morada. \nAbout the Book: Set against the rugged beauty of the early 1980s Southwest\, In a Morada follows Doc Schaefer as he steps into a whirlwind of corruption\, racism\, family tensions\, and simmering violence. Over the course of twenty-four gripping hours\, Schaefer must face down violent criminals\, navigate Crowther’s volatile temper\, and confront his own doubts—all while trying to restore order. More than just a Western\, In a Morada is a compelling tale that explores the intersections of faith\, heritage\, and the true meaning of victory. Richly layered and deeply engaging\, this story delves into history\, culture\, and philosophy. Beneath the fast-paced chases\, gunfights\, and hand to hand combat lies a profound exploration of humanity’s journey—how we have evolved or\, at times\, failed to do so—and what this means for us in our daily lives. \nAbout the Author: Frank Haug draws inspiration from his roots along the Rio Grande in Colorado’s San Luis Valley. As a dedicated attorney\, community college professor\, farmer\, and author\, he embodies the spirit of a fourth-generation Coloradan. His great-grandfather\, also named Frank Haug\, owned saloons in bustling mining towns throughout 1800s Colorado\, including in Creede\, Leadville\, and Denver. Frank’s writing passionately explores the American West. It tackles critical issues faced by small-town America\, with a special focus on resonating with rural men. Yet\, the themes he presents transcend regional boundaries. His stories possess a universal appeal that captivates a diverse readership. With a commitment to crafting accessible and enjoyable fiction\, he thoughtfully engages with philosophical\, historical\, cultural\, political\, and religious themes. As a philosophy major and former prosecutor\, he explores how justice and moral systems succeed and fail in our modern world. The overwhelmingly positive feedback from readers on platforms like Amazon and Goodreads is a testament to the appeal of his work. Now residing in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains\, Frank shares a small farm with his wife and three sons\, where they raise and market sheep and lamb\, tend a flock of chickens\, pasture llamas\, and embrace the beauty of the Rocky Mountains. His work invites readers to experience and reflect on the values and stories that define not just rural America\, but the human experience as a whole.
