Susan Wingate's "When You Leave Me" Releases During National Alzheimer's Awareness Month (June)

   They say the best books are inspired by something the author has actually gone through or witnessed, and San Juan Island, Washington author Susan Wingate is hoping her latest title can make a difference for people traveling an Alzheimer’s journey with a loved one. Down & Out Books released When You Leave Me on June 6th. A story about the book made the front page of the June 1 issue of the San Juan Journal newspaper, and in early June, an interview aired on Seattle's Northwest Radio.

   The novel is a psychological suspense and domestic thriller about a man with dementia who goes missing and is presumed dead, and the experiences his wife has in the months that follow. The story was inspired by the Alzheimer’s journey the author is traveling with her own husband in real life. 

   Susan Wingate is the seven-time award-winning author of How the Deer Moon Hungers (July 2020) and eleven other titles including The Bobby's Diner series. She writes about big trouble in small towns.  When not writing she enjoys spending time outdoors and feeding the animals that wander into her yard. She also dabbles with a ukulele.

Miami Businessman Signs Copies of His Debut Novel at West Kendall Barnes & Noble on June 4th

   Miami-based businessman and author John Katsoulis signed copies of a novel for our times at the West Kendall Barnes and Noble Booksellers store on Saturday, June 4. 

   When Feral Eye of the Blackbird: A Journey Reveals the Power of Reason begins, Robert Bonhomme and his boss, Logos, have been kidnapped from an airstrip in Pennsylvania and are on their way to a diamond mine in Africa. Because of Logos’ notorious mechanical skill, he and Robert, who is his apprentice, have been targeted by members of a mysterious consortium to complete a task no one else has succeeded at. If they want to live, they will need to repair “the temple”—a rig poised above the mine. Once they do, their captors will gain access to the billions of dollars’ worth of diamonds geologists say are buried below.
   Katsoulis says the story originated as a screenplay he wrote while seeking work as an actor a decade ago. “We have to make rational decisions which aren’t always the emotional decisions,” explains Katsoulis, “The characters learn to fight fear and use reason to plan their escape.”
