SUMMARY:Booksigning and Discussion: The Dog Went Over the Mountain by Peter Zheutlin
DESCRIPTION:We’re super excited to host Peter Zheutlin\, author of the New York Times bestseller Rescue Road: One Man\, Thirty Thousand Dogs and a Million Miles on the Last Hope Highway this Saturday! Peter will be at Main Street Reads to discuss his eighth book release: THE DOG WENT OVER THE MOUNTAIN: Travels with Albie: An American Journey  \n\n\n\nIn his latest book\, Peter embarks on a journey to take the measure of America with a loyal friend. On the cusp of turning sixty-five\, Peter and his beloved Albie\, a rescue dog of similar vintage\, take a poignant\, often bemusing\, and keenly observed journey across America and discover a big-hearted\, welcoming country filled with memorable characters. \n\n\n\nThey come away with a newfound appreciation for the life they temporarily left behind\, and a determination to live more fully in the moment as old age looms. \n\n\n\nInspired by John Steinbeck\, this 9\,000-mile odyssey allows Zheutlin to experience all that America is and means today\, and having Albie by his side opens up people and pockets of this country (and a few new smells). Similar in approach and tone to Bill Bryson’s bestselling travel classics\, but with an endearing canine sidekick\, The Dog Went Over the Mountain will delight dog lovers\, baby boomers\, and anyone who seeks to experience life on the open road with a four-legged companion. \n\n\n\n“Peter Zheutlin has written a lovely\, moving\, important book about a subject that is both heartbreaking and joyful. [Dogs] are one way God tests our compassion.”  —Dean Koontz\n\n\n\n“Heartwarming doesn’t suffice to describe it: this tale of stray\, unwanted\, and abandoned dogs\, and the people who devote their lives to saving them\, restores faith in humanity.” —Alexandra Horowitz\, New York Times bestselling author of Inside of a Dog\n\n\n\n“Peter Zheutlin takes us on a dog lover’s ultimate road trip. A canine caravan with heart and soul.” —Teresa Rhyne\, author of the #1 New York Times bestselling The Dog Lived\, And So Will I\n\n\n\nBook Discussion Followed by Signing\n\n\n\nPeter will have a Power Point presentation at 11 a.m.\, followed by signing of his work. Seating is limited so we suggest you get here early! REFRESHMENTS WILL BE SERVED! \n\n\n\n\n\nPeter Zheutlin\n\n\n\n\n\nPeter Zheutlin is a freelance journalist and author whose work has appeared regularly in The Boston Globe and The Christian Science Monitor. Mr. Zheutlin has also written for The Los Angeles Times\, Parade Magazine\, AARP Magazine and numerous other publications in the U.S. and abroad. \n\n\n\nHe is the author of The New York Times best seller Rescue Road: One Man\, Thirty Thousand Dogs and a Million Miles on the Last Hope Highway (Sourcebooks\, 2015)\, Around the World on Two Wheels: Annie Londonderry’s Extraordinary Ride (Citadel Press\, 2007) and Rescued: What Second Chance Dogs Teach Us About Living with Purpose\, Loving with Abandon\, and Finding Joy in the Little Things (TarcherPerigee\, October\, 2017). His newest book is The Dog Went Over the Mountain: Travels with Albie\, An American Journey (Pegasus Books\, September\, 2019)\, inspired by a re-reading of John Steinbeck’s beloved classic\, Travels With Charley: In Search of America.

SUMMARY:Booksigning: Brandy Vallance and The Covered Deep
DESCRIPTION:Thrilled to welcome historical romance author Brandy Vallance to Main Street Reads this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Her acclaimed novel (featured in USA Today!) takes place in the year 1877 and tells the tale of an incurably romantic bookworm from Appalachia\, who wins a contest and travels to England and the Holy Land in search of the perfect romantic hero. \nBrandy Vallance fell in love with the Victorian time period at a young age\, loving the customs\, manners\, and especially the intricate rules of love. Since time travel is theoretically impossible\, she lives in the nineteenth century vicariously through her novels. Unaccountable amounts of black tea have fueled this ambition. Brandy’s love of tea can only be paralleled by her love of Masterpiece Theater Classics\, deep conversations\, and a good book. \nBrandy is the 2013 Operation First Novel winner and the 2012 winner of the ACFW Genesis Contest for historical romance. Her critically acclaimed novel\, The Covered Deep\, has been featured in USA TODAY and Writer’s Digest. You can connect with Brandy via her website www.brandyvallance.com\, Facebook\, Goodreads\, Pinterest\, YouTube\, or Twitter @BrandyVallance. \nRefreshments will be served!
