Because we can’t have a big birthday party at this time but would very much like you to join in the celebration, we invite you to add to our “virtual guestbook”.

If you have a story, message, or picture you’d like to share with us, please send it to: ArcadiaTen@gmail.com. 

We’ll compile everything into an actual book that we’ll display at the store. Arcadia is what it is because of you so please add a memory of a visit or author event or maybe a story about a favorite book you found on our shelves. Thank you for a decade of books!

We are thrilled and honored to have Diane Wilson join us for our discussion of her beautiful and powerful novel, The Seed Keeper.

From James's review:

The Seed Keeper is the story of multiple generations of a Dakhóta family. It is about time, about loss, about land, about love. It is about the stars, the soil, the voices of ancestors that are never still within us. It is about the potency of seeds, and the history and stories they carry; the future they promise if cherished and cared for. It is about coming home. The story is told by four indelible women’s voices: Rosalie Iron Wing, Marie Blackbird, Darlene Kills Deer, and Gaby Makespeace. Together they act as a chorus for the Dakhóta nation from 1862 to 2002. Diane Wilson, a Dakhóta, created these voices that will burrow into you.

We are very excited to welcome Bryan Christy to our discussion of his thriller, "In the Company of Killers."

Bryan Christy's first novel already has readers clammoring for more. This ecological nailbiter follows Tom Clay, a journalist who also happens to work for the CIA, as he battles elephant poachers in Africa. With complex characters and deep plotlines, Christy brings us into the world of his "day job", where he is the founder of the Special Investigations Unit at National Geographic. Much like John le Carré before him, Christy has taken his knowledge of a criminal and dangerous world and spun it into a story that will keep you in its grip until the last page.


 

We are excited to partner with our friends at Mystery To Me to bring you this virtual event. Register here with Crowdcast.

Sheriff Heidi Kick is back in Bad Moon Rising, the third novel in John Galligan's Bad Axe County series. John will sit down with James DeVita (A Winsome Murder) to discuss their dark tales of murder and police work, all set in Wisconsin. There's a good chance they'll also talk about fishing.  

Here's what Todd had to say about Bad Moon Rising:

Sheriff Heidi Kick always has a full plate, whether it's dealing with crimes in Bad Axe County, raising three children while preserving a marriage, running for reelection, and getting funding for her department.  But that's just the start.

In this third Bad Axe County novel, homeless men are disappearing and no one knows why. An old school newspaperman, recently jobless after decades of work, attempts to find the author of numerous anonymous diatribes, leading to an unexpected discovery. You'll be surprised, entertained, and slightly terrified of a walk in the backwoods after reading this.  With a tearjerker ending, there's the satisfaction of knowing that Heidi Kick and her family are healing, and she'll be back for more.
