Books Inc. in the Castro: K.M. Soehnlein at Books, Inc Castro (April 1 at 7:30pm)
K.M. Soehnlein reads from Robin and Rudy.
Author K.M. Soehnlein will be joining us to read from his latest gay novel “Robin and Ruby.” In his award-winning bestseller The World of Normal Boys, K.M. Soehnlein introduced readers to the richly compelling voice of teenager Robin MacKenzie. In Robin and Ruby, he revisits Robin and his younger ... (more)sister, masterfully depicting the turbulence of the mid-1980s--and that fleeting time between youth and adulthood, when everything we will become can be shaped by one unforgettable weekend. At twenty-years-old, Robin MacKenzie is waiting for his life to start. Waiting until his summer working at a Philly restaurant is over and he's back with his boyfriend Peter… until the spring semester when he'll travel to London for an acting program... until the moment when the confidence he fakes starts to feel real. Then, one hot June weekend, Robin gets dumped by his boyfriend and quickly hits the road with his best friend George to find his teenaged sister, Ruby, who's vanished from a party at the Jersey Shore. For years, his friendship with George has been the most solid thing in Robin's life. But lately there are glimpses of another George, someone Robin barely knows and can no longer take for granted. Ruby is on an adventure of her own, dressing in black, declaring herself an atheist, pulling away from the boyfriend she doesn't love--not the way she loves the bands whose fractured songs are the soundtrack to her life. Then a chance encounter puts Ruby in pursuit of a seductive but troubled boy who might be the key to her happiness, or a disaster waiting to happen. As their paths converge, Robin and Ruby confront the sadness of their shared past and rebuild the bonds that still run deep. In prose that is lyrical, compulsively readable, and exquisitely honest, K.M. Soehnlein brilliantly captures a family redefining itself and explores those moments common to us all--when freedom bumps up against responsibility, when sex blurs the line between friendship and love, and when what you stand for becomes more important than who you were raised to be. About the Author: K.M. Soehnlein lives in San Francisco, where he works as a freelance writer, editor, and writing teacher. Readers can visit his website at www.kmsoehnlein.com. * * * Books Inc. is a locally owned and operated independent bookstore with 10 locations in California.

Books Inc. in the Castro: Christopher Rice at Books, Inc Castro (April 19 at 7:30pm)
Christopher Rice reads from The Moonlit Earth.
Author Christopher Rice will be joining us to read from his latest gay novel “The Moonlit Earth.” When a young flight attendant disappears during a terrorist bombing in Hong Kong, his sister must brave a series of conspiracies to clear his name. The central characters in Rice's lethargic latest (Blind ... (more)Fall, 2008, etc.) are Megan Reynolds and her petulant brother Cameron. Newly unemployed, Megan is holed up with their socialite mother when Cameron shows up at her birthday party, where they get into an argument about their long-gone father. Soon after, Megan starts working for Lucas, a wealthy cousin who sets her up as head of a nonprofit environmental organization. Her plans are derailed when a massive explosion rips through Cameron's hotel in Hong Kong, and a video camera catches him fleeing the scene with a Middle Eastern fixer. Following her brother's trail to Hong Kong, Megan meets a young Saudi prince named Aabid, who explains at interminable length about his involvement with Cameron. Uncharacteristically, her brother had rejected the prince's advances, and he'd also threatened to expose the bloodthirsty relationship between Aabid's wealthy family and Zach Holder, a ruthless American mogul who is one of Lucas' biggest clients. Rice manages to hold together a paper-thin plot and even makes some salient points about sexuality in Muslim cultures. An endless barrage of expository passages, ham-fisted action sequences and hackneyed dialogue swamps these few worthwhile moments. "I've only been seeing shades and shadows and soft edges. Now I see cracks and angles . . . and blood," says Megan during a typical exchange. There are plenty of cracks in her story, that's for sure. A hollow potboiler. About the Author: Christopher Rice is the author of the "New York Times" bestsellers "A Density of Souls" and "The Snow Garden." The son of author Anne Rice and the late poet Stan Rice, he lives in Los Angeles. * * * Books Inc. is a locally owned and operated independent bookstore with 10 locations in California.

Anaya offers us a cultural and spiritual autobiography in which he strives to make China meaningful by relating it to the world of a New Mexican Chicano.

Books Inc. in the Castro: David McConnell at Books, Inc Castro (May 13 at 7:30pm)
David McConnell reads from The Silver Hearted.
Books Inc. Castro is proud to present author David McConnell. David will be reading from his new gay title “Silver Hearted.” Set against a background of revolution and profiteering of an unnamed port town, the story's unnamed narrator is hired to protect a vast sum of money shadowy investors have ... (more)entrusted to him. Literally chests of silver coins, this fortune must be protected at all costs. He turns for assistance to a naive sailor, beautiful and young, who helps the narrator evacuate his money from a trading emporium overrun by violent mobs. With a hopeless fondness, the boy wants acknowledgement that lives have been destroyed for the sake of money. Unfortunately the ruthless calculus of profit and loss has an eerie appeal the narrator can't shake, and the mobs are closing in. And he again has to get his fortune out of the city he's found uneasy shelter in. * * * New York-based novelist David McConnell, whose short fiction and criticism have appeared in numerous periodicals and anthologies, is the author of the fictional memoir The Firebrat. * * * Books Inc. is a locally owned and operated independent bookseller with 10 locations in California. Books Inc.’s origin dates back to the Gold Rush Days of 1851 when Anton Roman struck it rich in Shasta City, California and set himself up in business selling books. That small bookstore was moved, bought, sold, burned, rebuilt, renamed and became Books Inc., as we know it today, in 1946. Today, with 10 Stores and 200 employees, Books Inc. serves as a shining example that independent bookselling can survive and prosper, even if we must dance among the elephants.
