Previously self-published, Blake Crouch's 'Run' has not had physical distribution across bookstores until now! Its release date is October 22, 2024 and if you pre-order before October 10, 2024 Blake will sign copies of Run and his backlist for you!
'Run' is a gripping apocalyptic thriller about a man and his family running for their lives in an America gone mad. Jack Colclough is listening over the battery-powered radio on his kitchen table in Albuquerque, and he just heard his name. People are coming to his house to kill him, his wife, his daughter, his son. He doesn't know why, but he doesn’t have time to think about that anymore. He only has time to run.

Calling all river rats, photographers and human beings doing their best, you know, just existing!
Meet us in The Rochester Hotel Garden this Wednesday, July 31 at 6:00pm as we sit down with Outdoor Photographer & Author, Colleen Miniuk Photography & Writing .
'So Said The River' is an adventure travel memoir about Colleen’s wild adventures on the Colorado River and finding unexpected sources of fulfillment and identity through adversity—sometimes “happily ever after” looks different than what we’ve been told.
For 40 years, Colleen Miniuk relentlessly pursued perfection, achievement, and success without finding happiness. Then she found herself unexpectedly facing the end of her marriage. To cope with the devastating loss, she and her mother, Jacque, attempted to paddle across Lake Powell, a reservoir along the Colorado River on the Utah-Arizona border. Like life, the trip did not go as planned.
