Book signing scheduled with authors Lisa Lenard-Cook, Lucy Moore and Pamela Christie
The UNM Bookstore will hold an author reading featuring Lisa Lenard-Cook, Lucy Moore and Pamela Christie on Friday March 24, from 12 to 1 p.m. The authors will discuss their books in celebration of Women’s History Month. The event is free and open to the public.
Lisa Lenard-Cook is the author of Dissonance. Dissonance tells the story of Anna Kramer, a piano teacher in Los Alamos, New Mexico, who inherits the journals and scores of composer Hana Weissova. She is mystified by this bequest from a woman she does not know. As Kramer begins to play Weissova's music, however, some of her forgotten emotions resurface. Upon reading the dead woman's journals, which begin in 1945 after Weissova is released from a concentration camp, decades-old secrets that Kramer and her family have kept buried are uncovered.
Lucy Moore is the author of Into the Canyon. Moore's recollection of time spent in Navajo County is a beautiful and spirited tribute to Chinle culture. Moreover, the reader is given a glimpse into what it means to be affected by a place, time, and people.
Pamela Christie is the author of The King's Lizard. Her story is set in Santa Fe, 1782. The colony of New Mexico teeters on the brink of extinction. Unknown enemies sabotage the desperately needed peace between the Spanish and Comanches. To whom can Governor Anza turn? Unexpectedly, aid comes from the least likely of his subjects, one as invisible as a lizard on a wall. Nando Aguilar, the half-breed son of a Spanish don and a Ute slave, finds himself recruited to be the eyes and ears for Anza's government. Caught between warring cultures, Nando soon becomes deeply embroiled in murder and intrigue.
Everyone is invited to attend this book signing at the UNM Bookstore in celebration of Women’s History Month. The UNM Bookstore will also validate parking for the event.
