About Barry Crowther and his novel, Missing:
Crowther, originally from Manchester, England, is currently a San Clemente resident who works as an Internet marketing consultant by day, moonlights as a mystery writer, and is a devoted student of jiu jitsu. His recent book is the story of a debt collector who is tasked to find the missing niece of a gangster. The series of events that follow takes him down blind alleys, into dark, evil places and uncovers parts of his life that he had thought were long forgotten. The book constantly surprises its reader and finishes with a rather unique twist at the end.
About Joanna Giangardella and her memoir, The Girl from the Tower:
Only ten years old and caught in the aftermath of the Greek Civil War, Joanna is placed into a special UN adoption program supported by Queen Frederica. For a child living on the barefoot island of Pergos, it seems to be a dream come true. America is the land of chocolate and walking dolls, after all, and she leaves her childhood behind to embark on a journey that changes her life forever. Her new American parents, a Russian-born monarch and a Bulgarian of high society, forbid her to speak Greek, force her to eat intolerable food, and confine her to her room. Joanna’s life becomes a nightmare as she longs for home but fears she has been abandoned and forgotten.

Book Signing with Dan Caldwell
08/05/2011 5:00 pm
Distinguished Professor of Political Science at Pepperdine University, Dan Caldwell, will be here to sign his new book: Vortex of Conflict: U.S. Policy Toward Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq.
On August 5th, 2011 from 5 pm to 7 pm, come and meet Dr. Caldwell and find out about the actions that led us into the war with Iraq and Afghanistan.
Vortex of Conflict is the first, accessible, one-volume resource for anyone who wishes to understand why and how the U.S. became involved in these two wars—and in the affairs of Pakistan—concurrently. It will stand as the comprehensive reference work for general readers seeking a road map to the conflicts, or students looking for analysis and elucidation of the relevant data, and for veterans and their families seeking to better understand their own experience.
The book will be available in the store for $25.95.
