Mustang: The Saga of the Wild Horse in the American West (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) by Deanne Stillman


Twelve, the King (Perceval Press) by Michael Blake

 

Two authors will discuss and sign their books about the American West!

Deanne Stillman is a widely published, critically acclaimed writer. In addition to Mustang, she is the author of the bestseller Twentynine Palms: A True Story of Murder, Marines, and the Mojave, an LA times “best book 2001” which Hunter Thompson called “A strange and brilliant story by an important American writer.” It was recently published in a new, updated edition.

Michael Blake’s first novel, Dances With Wolves, was published as a mass-market paperback in 1988, receiving no attention until the film version was released to worldwide acclaim in the late 1990s. The phenomenal success of the movie ended more than twenty years of impoverished struggle to make a living out of literature and resulted in a downpour of awards, including the Oscar. In addition, Blake has received other prestigious awards including The American Library Association’s Hero of the Year and Cancervive’s Survivor of the Year. His latest work is a memoir about a rescue horse that greatly impacted his life titled Twelve, The King (Perceval Press, 2009) and his past works include The Holy Road and Indian Yell. Blake also has a new movie in development with Keven Costner that is based on a short story he wrote titled “The One”. He resides on his ranch, Wolf House, in the foothills of Tucson, Arizona.

Twentynine Palms is a compelling account of the devastating murder of two young girls by a troubled Marine in the rural California desert town of Twentynine Palms.
