Romney Steele presents and signs My Nepenthe: Bohemian Tales of Food, Family, and Big Sur
"Romney Steele grew up in the lively bohemian milieu of Nepenthe on the Big Sur coast and knows all the stories worth telling. In My Nepenthe, an intimate, richly illustrated memoir with recipes culled from the restaurant's 60 years, she writes marvelously about her 'crazy stew of a family' and especially her beloved grandmother, whose kindness and hospitality were legendary."
(Caroline Bates, contributing editor, Gourmet magazine)

Blood's a Rover
by James Ellroy
Three hardline right wingers sucked into the morass of the late '60s and early '70s, wrung out and left to hang in the winds of change. The woman who connects them and offers them salvation. The backroom and underworld machinations that claim them and tear them in two.
BLOOD'S A ROVER is the kind of sweeping political epic that's been missing from the American literary scene. No excess sentiment, no sledgehammer patriotism, just heartache and intrigue the likes of which only James Ellroy can weave.
