Local Authors Past and Present
Work in progress here -- the field is richer than first envisioned. We hope to incorporate past authors (Marianne Moore, Jean Craighead George, Hugh Henry Brackenridge, and so on), present authors/illustrators (Amy Bates, Megan Lloyd-Thompson, Adrienne Su, Kim van Alkemade, Sherry Knowlton, and so on), and books from authors who knew the Valley well and wrote about events here (Lois Lenski, Lois Lowry, Conrad Richter, and so on). We will organize them with category headers for better searching and annotate them with the particulars as we work on this. Keep checking!
Stan Jones: A Novel
Stan Jones: A Novel
Stan Jones is the story of an astronaut with an astonishing past, stuck in the daily mire of dead end jobs and flailing attempts at a relationships, while the world turns around him, oblivious to his extraordinary nature. We follow Stan as he navigates a life of duality where he searches for meaning, but be careful what you wish for... the deeper Stan Jones probes into his questions, he just might uncover a litany of unsettling answers that go far deeper than he ever bargained for.
Stan Jones is a thoughtful, cerebral and often hilarious novel consistently beautiful and imaginative. Readers and critics alike are drawn to the novel due to its innovative premise and unique humor, but breeze through the pages ahead due to its one of a kind protagonist and deep, philosophical musings. A true standout debut novel by a burgeoning science fiction author.
