Author Talk and Book Signing
Upcoming Book Club Author Chats
Thursday October 24th at 6:00 pm
Joseph D. Slater of Weld will be at the library for the October Book Club Author Chat to discuss his book In The Sky.
“A dragon-rider, a pirate, and a suspicious cook meet up in this aerial adventure of airships, spies and vengeance.
In this cat and mouse journey following the Gale Empire’s Navy pursuing the Loon’s Cry, an infamous pirate ship sailing into the territories lost in a past war, fatal decisions will be made to ensure the safety of the borders between the freedom fighters, and rule under the emperor.
The cook’s aid, Bonnie, discovers a spy aboard Captain Harley’s rag-tag crew, all while an Imperial ace flyer, Esmeralda does what she can to get combat experience from the back of her loyal dragon, Rex.
However, she will find more than she could have ever expected there.
In the world of sky shanties, dragons, and sword fights, you’ll learn that in order to get what you want, you’ll have to sacrifice what you love there, in the sky.”
Raised in the lonely western mountains of Maine, Joe is an infantry veteran who has authored several novels; The Vacation Planet series, Janie, and In the Sky.
After being stationed in Colorado for a few years, he moved back to Maine, where he surrounds himself with six women (his wife and five daughters), being sure that his children have a nourished and literate life.
His favorite haunt is in his home library, where he can be found cursing under his breath as he works on his next project.
