Baja Sur Book Signing-Feb 18


I know that it is early but wanted to give everyone the heads up on our Second Annual Baja Sur Book Signing.
It will be at our place in La Choya just across the arroyo from San Jose del Cabo on the road to Puertoloscabos.
The following authors have already committed to coming
Dick Russell, "Eye of the Whale"
CM Mayo, "Miraculous Air"," Mexico, A Traveler Literary Companion"
Ann Hazard, "Cooking with Baja Magic Dos", "Agave Sunsets", "Cartwheels in the Sand"
Bruce Berger, "Almost an Island" with Miguel Angel de la Cueva, "Oasis of Stone" are penciled in.
Last year we had 11 authors.
It will be a fun day with speakers, slide shows and possibly cooking demo by Ann.
So mark your calendars and plan to be here.

I am truly sorry to report that the reason we cannot have the event in Ida Victoria Gallery is that, a little over a week ago, there was a propane explosion and the entire place was gutted..not one piece of art left. Even sadder is the fact that the young man(16) who was delivering the gas died.

Judy, this sounds like a great opportunity to meet some of the best Baja writers. Might be a good time for us to make a trip south. Hope you'll keep us posted on how the event is shaping up.

More authors


Great news
Ed Vernon, "Las Misiones" will be here for the signing. His knowledge of the missions of Baja is awesome. And he is an extremely nice guy whose passion is Baja.

Michael Mercer


Yes Michael has agreed to join us again this year. Those of you who were here last year will remember him for sure. A very engaging speaker, who spoke on the mixture of art and real estate in the Todos Santos community.

http://www.michaelmercer.com/Writers%20And%20Realtors.htm

His book, "Bandidos" was banned by the local book store in Todos Santos, which of course made it extremely popular! His book,"Mexicoland" is a collection of short stories about Todos Santos, which are very entertaining.

Almost an Island is quite a detailed read and I would enjoy meeting Bruce, who began traveling the old main Baja road about the time my folks and I did. His story on the Eclipse of 1991 is pretty good too!

Congatulations Judy on your efforts!!!

Judy, Don and I plan to come. Almost an Island and Miraculous Air are two favorites of mine, and I'm really looking forward to meeting these writers.

Are your directions clear enough for San Jose neophytes? And will you let us know when it begins so we don't miss any of the talks?

Bajajudy, we wil do our darndest to be there. We made a half hearted attempt to find your place right after Christmas, but to no avail. We will be returning to Los Cabos sometime in February. Your announcement of this event gives us a timetable to shoot for.

Ed Vernon has a fantastic book on the missions of Baja with details that warm the heart of any history fans! He continues to do research with Baja Nomads such as Jack Swords to make new discoveries... 'Las Misiones Antiguas' has the looks of a fine coffee table book with the research information of a history text!

"Almost an Island" is a wonderful account of traveling Baja before the highway existed. The chapters on San Ignacio and La Paz are especially enjoyable. IMO, a chance to meet Bruce Berger is not to be missed!

We had a fabulous day yesterday. Paula and Don showed up...twice!
Bruce Berger, Michael Mercer and CM Mayo gave presentations and Ed Vernon had a slide show from his research on the misiones. (DK you would have loved that!;)) Wendy Rudell who has a cookbook on raw food brought a delicious salsa and sundried linaza chips. Most of the authors agreed that it was nice to be outside instead of in a gallery so we will probably do it here again next year.
Here is a shot of Bruce Berger ,CM Mayo, Garth Murphy discussing the in and outs of publishing a book. For those of you not familiar with Garth, his book, "The Indian Lover" is a wonderful read.
