Indie Bookstore Day, 2019

Mark your calendars for April 27, 2019!

Indie Bookstore Day is a national party that takes place at indie bookstores across the country.  Your locally run independent bookstores is more than just a store, it’s a community center passionate about bringing readers and writers together. To celebrate Indie Bookstore Day the Palouse Writers Guild has teamed-up with BookPeople of Moscow to host a book signing by local authors.  Be sure to stop by and purchase a book by your favorite author:  Not before. Not after. Not online.

This year’s list of authors includes:


Guy Worthey, 10 AM to 2 PM

Whenever he temporarily escapes the gravitational pull of stars and galaxies, he writes fiction. He lives in Washington state with his violinist wife Diane. He likes cats and dogs and plays keyboards and bass guitar. His favorite food is called creamed eggs on toast, but once in a while he heeds the siren song of chocolate.

The first book Mark Rounds read, other than “See Spot Run” was “Rocketship Galileo” in the second grade. He was restricted from the library in the third grade because it was such a wondrous place, he forgot to do his “real” homework. Things haven’t changed since then.

Mark is currently teaching at the University of Idaho in MIS. He has published papers on Computer Security and Hacking Motivations. His PhD is from the University of Idaho focusing in Cyber Security.

Mark’s hobbies include Civil War Reenacting, Reading, Folk Guitar, and gourmet cooking. Mark recently published his fourth novel.

At this Hour, Lie at the Mercy of All Mine Enemies
This Thing of Darkness I Acknowledge Mine
Commonality Games


Al Halsey, 12 PM to 4 PM

When most everyone fawned over prancing, sparkling vampires, Al toiled away writing about zombies. Fantasy zombies, western zombies, zombies and more zombies. To say that zombies are an obsession of his is an understatement. Very few zombie movies have escaped his cadaverous eye.

A lifelong resident of Lewiston, Idaho, Al graduated from Lewiston High School and Lewis-Clark State College. He spent the last 30 years working with children with emotional and behavioral problems and training other professionals to do the same.  In his free time Al trains in martial arts, tells his rescued cats to get off the counter, and consumes large quantities of Thai food unapologetically. Considered by some to be the neighborhood curmudgeon, he wears this title as a badge of honor.

You can catch up with Al on the Al Halsey Author Page on Facebook, or @AlHalsey1 on Twitter.

Al is the author of:
Hellgate, Montana,
Retributor (Hellgate, Montana Book 2)
Salt Lake City (Hellgate, Montana Book 3)
Mists of the Miskatonic,
The Chronicles of Dorian Christianson: Nephilim
Empires of the Dead: Son of the Sea
Kinemortophobia: Zombie Dreams for Sleepless Nights
Fire Team in Zombies Galore
Goddess in Nightmares and Echoes II
Keeping Score in the Dark Bard

Annette’s book Girl Running (Penguin: 2018) earned a Kirkus starred review, was a Junior Library Guild Selection, and was named a Notable Trade Book by National Council of Social Studies (NCSS).
