SUMMARY:On-Line Author Talk:  A Navajo Investigator’s Search for the Unexplained: In Conversation with Stanley Milford\, Jr.
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, November 7th at 7:00 PM EST \n  \nRegister Here \nYou are welcome to join us in conversation with Navajo Ranger\, Stanley Milford\, Jr. as he chats about the chilling and clear-eyed memoir of his investigations into bizarre cases of the paranormal and the unexplained in Navajoland. \nAs a Native American with parents of both Navajo and Cherokee descent\, Stanley Milford\, Jr. grew up in a world where the supernatural was both expected and taboo\, where shapeshifters roamed\, witchcraft was a thing to be feared\, and children were taught not to whistle at night. In his youth\, Milford never went looking for the paranormal\, but it always seemed to find him. When he joined the fabled Navajo Rangers—a law enforcement branch of the Navajo Nation who are equal parts police officers\, archeological conservationists\, and historians—the paranormal became part of his job. Alongside addressing the mundane duties of overseeing the massive 27\,000-square-mile reservation\, Milford was assigned to utterly bizarre and shockingly frequent cases involving mysterious livestock mutilations\, skinwalker and Bigfoot sightings\, UFOs\, and malicious hauntings. \nIn The Paranormal Ranger\, Milford recounts the stories of these cases from the clinical and deductive perspective of a law enforcement officer. Milford’s Native American worldview and investigative training collide to provide an eerie account of what logic dictates should not be possible. Register now to expand your own worldview and be ready for a chill to run down your spine! \nAbout the Author: Stanley Milford\, Jr.\, graduated from the United States Indian Police Academy at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Artesia\, New Mexico\, and worked continuously as a sworn law enforcement officer for over twenty-three years. He served as the delegated Chief Navajo Ranger for over two years through March of 2019. While with the Navajo Rangers\, Stan oversaw a section called the Special Projects Unit (SPU)\, whose responsibilities included the investigation of cases that did not fit within everyday parameters of law enforcement or criminal investigation\, many of which involved reports of the paranormal or supernatural. After leaving the Navajo Rangers\, Stan served as the senior investigator for the Navajo Nation’s White Collar Crime Unit.

SUMMARY:On-Line Author Talk:   On Childhood Migration from Central America--In Conversation with Javier Zamora
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, November 14th at 4:00 PM EST \n  \nRegister Here \n  \nTune in for a special conversation with New York Times bestselling author Javier Zamora as he chats with us about his riveting tale of survival and perseverance as told in his award-winning memoir Solito. \nZamora’s adventure is a three-thousand-mile journey from his small town in El Salvador\, through Guatemala and Mexico\, and across the U.S. border. He will leave behind his beloved aunt and grandparents to reunite with a mother who left four years ago and a father he barely remembers. Traveling alone amid a group of strangers and a “coyote” hired to lead them to safety\, Javier expects his trip to last two short weeks. \nAt nine years old\, all Javier can imagine is rushing into his parents’ arms\, snuggling in bed between them\, and living under the same roof again. He cannot foresee the perilous boat trips\, relentless desert treks\, pointed guns\, arrests and deceptions that await him; nor can he know that those two weeks will expand into two life-altering months alongside fellow migrants who will come to encircle him like an unexpected family. \nSolito provides an immediate and intimate account not only of a treacherous and near-impossible journey\, but also of the miraculous kindness and love delivered at the most unexpected moments. Solito is Javier Zamora’s story\, but it’s also the story of millions of others who had no choice but to leave home. Register today to learn more about this gripping and moving story! \nAbout the Author: Javier Zamora was born in El Salvador in 1990. His father fled the country when he was one\, and his mother when he was about to turn five. Both parents’ migrations were caused by the U.S.-funded Salvadoran Civil War. When he was nine Javier migrated through Guatemala\, Mexico\, and the Sonoran Desert. His debut poetry collection\, Unaccompanied\, explores the impact of the war and immigration on his family. Zamora has been a Stegner Fellow at Stanford and a Radcliffe Fellow at Harvard and holds fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation.

SUMMARY:On-Line Author Talk:   Native Rights and Culture in Fiction–A Conversation with Mona Susan Power
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, November 20th at 7:00 PM EST \n  \nRegister Here \n  \nYou’re invited to join us as Mona Susan Power chats about her newest novel A Council of Dolls. This conversation highlights how her work explores Native Rights and Native American culture\, in particular using an important symbol that anchors comfort and companionship in Native life: dolls. \nFrom the mid-century metropolis of Chicago to the windswept ancestral lands of the Dakota people\, to the bleak and brutal Indian boarding schools\, A Council of Dolls is the story of three women\, told in part through the stories of the dolls they carried…. \nSissy\, born 1961: Sissy’s relationship with her beautiful and volatile mother is difficult\, even dangerous\, but her life is also filled with beautiful things\, including a new Christmas present\, a doll called Ethel. Ethel whispers advice and kindness in Sissy’s ear\, and in one especially terrifying moment\, maybe even saves Sissy’s life. \nLillian\, born 1925: Born in her ancestral lands in a time of terrible change\, Lillian clings to her sister\, Blanche\, and her doll\, Mae. When the sisters are forced to attend an “Indian school” far from their home\, Blanche refuses to be cowed by the school’s abusive nuns. But when tragedy strikes the sisters\, the doll Mae finds her way to defend the girls. \nCora\, born 1888: Though she was born into the brutal legacy of the “Indian Wars\,” Cora isn’t afraid of the white men who remove her to a school across the country to be “civilized.” When teachers burn her beloved buckskin and beaded doll Winona\, Cora discovers that the spirit of Winona may not be entirely lost… \nA modern masterpiece\, A Council of Dolls is gorgeous\, quietly devastating\, and ultimately hopeful\, shining a light on the echoing damage wrought by Indian boarding schools\, and the historical massacres of Indigenous people. Mona Susan Power weaves a spell of love and healing that comes alive on the page. Register now to join the conversation! \nAbout the Author: Mona Susan Power is an enrolled member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. Her novel\, A Council of Dolls\, was longlisted for the National Book Award and the Carol Shields Prize for Fiction. She is the author of three previously published works of fiction\, The Grass Dancer\, which won the Pen/Hemingway Prize\, Sacred Wilderness\, and Roofwalker. Her short stories have been published by The Atlantic Monthly\, The Paris Review\, The Best American Short Stories\, and more. Mona is a graduate of Harvard and the University of Iowa Writers’ Workshop. She lives in Saint Paul\, Minnesota.

SUMMARY:On-Line Author Talk\,  Somewhere Beyond the Sea by TJ Klune
DESCRIPTION:Come have a magical moment with New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune as he chats about his Cerulean Chronicles\, with special emphasis on his newest in the series\, Somewhere Beyond the Sea. \nIf you’re new to the Cerulean Chronicles\, that’s okay! Let us lay the groundwork. Klune’s The House in the Cerulean Sea introduces us to Linus Baker. A by-the-book caseworker in the Department in Charge of Magical Youth. He’s tasked with determining whether six dangerous magical children are likely to bring about the end of the world. Arthur Parnassus is the master of the orphanage. He would do anything to keep the children safe\, even if it means the world will burn. And his secrets will come to light. The House in the Cerulean Sea is an enchanting love story\, masterfully told\, about the profound experience of discovering an unlikely family in an unexpected place―and realizing that family is yours. \nKlune’s most recent book in the Cerulean Chronicles\, Somewhere Beyond the Sea\, welcomes us back for Arthur’s story. \nWednesday\, January 15th at 7:00 PM EST

SUMMARY:On-Line Author Talk The Age of Magical Overthinking: Notes on Modern Irrationality by Amanda Montell
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we chat with the New York Times bestselling author\, Amanda Montell about her newest book\, The Age of Magical Overthinking: Notes on Modern Irrationality. \nIn a delicious blend of cultural criticism and personal narrative that explores our cognitive biases and the power\, disadvantages\, and highlights of magical thinking\, Amanda Montell now turns her erudite eye to the inner workings of the human mind and its biases in her most personal and electrifying work yet. \n“Magical thinking” can be broadly defined as the belief that one’s internal thoughts can affect unrelated events in the external world: think of the conviction that one can manifest their way out of poverty\, stave off cancer with positive vibes\, thwart the apocalypse by learning to can their own peaches\, or transform an unhealthy relationship to a glorious one with loyalty alone. In all its forms\, magical thinking works in service of restoring agency amid chaos\, but in The Age of Magical Overthinking\, Montell argues that in the modern information age\, our brain’s coping mechanisms have been overloaded\, and our irrationality turned up to an eleven. \nThursday\, January 23rd at 2:00 PM EST
