San Francisco Event-a-palooza
Next Week: Andrea Bartz and... me!
Hey all,
One of the fun thing about having TWO (count ‘em!) bookstores in different parts of California is that we get to enjoy two opposite busy seasons.
Right now Palm Springs is starting to wind down its busy tourist season (and anticipate scorching summer days ahead) and San Francisco is just getting started!
Exhibit A: The number of incredible author events we have coming up in Union Square in the coming weeks.
Next Tuesday (May 12th) at 6pm I’ll be in conversation with the incredible Andrea Bartz…
Andrea Bartz is best known for her propulsive, bestselling thrillers including her most recent - The Last Ferry Out (order it here) - in which a woman who travels to a remote, hurricane-damaged island to investigate the mysterious death of her fiancée.
BUT recently Andrea has become celebrated for her role as lead plaintiff in the Bartz vs Anthropic class action suit which secured a $1.5bn settlement from AI giant Anthropic over the theft of authors’ work.
The settlement is set to become official during a final court hearing in San Francisco on May 14th -- and we’re delighted to announce that Andrea will be joining us at The Best Bookstore in Union Square that same week (May 12th @ 6pm) for an exclusive in-store event, in conversation with fellow thriller author… me! We’ll discuss Andrea’s latest book, the world of thriller writing and AI, and of course the groundbreaking Anthropic settlement.
The event will also serve as the unofficial launch celebration for the paperback edition of The Confessions so I really hope you’ll join us!
The event is completely free, but you must register in advance here.
See you NEXT WEEK!
Paul
