Join A Book for All Seasons for the 11th annual Independent Bookstore Day!

Independent Bookstore Day is a one-day national party that takes place at indie bookstores across the country on the last Saturday in April. Every store is unique and independent, and every party is different. But in addition to authors, live music, cupcakes, scavenger hunts, kids events, art tables, readings, barbecues, contests, and other fun stuff, there are exclusive books and literary items that you can only get on that day.

A Book for All Seasons is excited to welcome local author, Teri Fink for a book signing for her new book, The Restless Lake… Learn more about the book and author below!

Tech industry executive, Olivia Vandenberg and Olympic athlete, Luka Novak, cross paths at a wilderness ranch, where their secrets collide as they each struggle with the aftershock of their own painful pasts.

The remote Stehekin Wilderness Ranch, tucked in the heart of the North Cascades, is accessible only by boat or plane. Marketing brochures promise adventures ranging from kayaking or horseback riding to hiking or fishing.

Olivia hires former champion Croatian kayaker Luka Novak to guide, not knowing that Luka carries a heavy burden as a survivor of the Yugoslav War. She begins to have doubts about Luka’s past. What did he do in the war? What happened to his fiancé? What led him to this remote corner of the earth?

Even as Olivia buries secrets of her own, she fears Luka may not be all that he appears.

A Book for All Seasons is excited to host the book launch and signing for local young adult fiction writer, Rachael Lundin and her debut book, Serenade of the Sasquatch (taking place here in Leavenworth)!

Lundin introduces us to River, a Sasquatch on a quest that brings him to a small town in North Central Washington. This is a story about two teenagers who have a chance encounter with Bigfoot. In the midst of their research, they learn to rely on each other, run into a mysterious man at an abandoned cabin and stumble upon a missing person’s cold case. But really, it’s a story about friendship and facing life’s challenges in a complicated world where parents die, go missing, or are dealing with alcohol addiction. It is in short, an adventure story that explores friendship and loyalty while solving a mystery. This is the first book in a series entitled The Chorus Chronicles.

Join us in welcoming local author, Dennis Dauble for a book signing for his new book, A Rustic Cabin: Finding a Sense of Place.

After searching the slopes of northeastern Oregon’s Blue Mountains for five years, Dauble stumbles upon a circa 1940 log cabin located inside a former dude ranch/hot springs resort in the Umatilla River canyon. Through it all—the fixups, 100-year flood, passing of loved ones—nineteen years of ownership have passed with no regret. Part natural history, part memoir, and part practical advice, A Rustic Cabin is an entertaining account of one man’s dream of owning a cabin near a rushing trout stream. His love of place and family will raise your spirit and fill your heart with delight.
