News
House of Representatives adopts the "Freedom to Read" proposal:
From the ACLU, June 15, 2005 - "The American Civil Liberties Union
today applauded the House of Representatives for adopting the "Freedom to
Read" proposal - offered by Rep. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). It denies funding
for FBI access to library and bookstore records under section 215 of the
Patriot Act. A bipartisan majority (238-187) approved the measure as
an amendment to a Department of Justice funding measure."
Coverage from the Washington Post: ( http://washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/15/AR2005061501953.html )

Edgar Allen Poe letter, and fundraising for the Poe Museum:
Several months ago, the Poe Museum unveiled its latest acquistion -- a long-lost
letter penned by Poe himself. The letter, dated June 4th, 1846, was
purchased at a yard sale 20 years ago. The museum still has much fundraising
to do and encourages anyone interested in helping the collection grow to
make a contribution. More information at ( http://www.poemuseum.org ). Thanks to customer Wickie Stamps for bringing this to our attention.

is one of the wealthiest - and most eccentric - men in the country.
Not content with investing his fortune and watching it grow, he buys rare

Wednesday, August 17th at 7:00pm, David Drake THE WAY TO GLORY (Baen)
- Borderlands is incredibly excited to host science fiction great David
Drake! While he is best known for his military science fiction including
the much-lauded HAMMER'S SLAMMERS books, Mr. Drake has written everything
from humor (ALL THE WAY TO THE GALLOWS) to space opera (WITH THE LIGHTNINGS)
to high fantasy (LORD OF THE ISLES), and those are just in the last several
years! David hasn't been out to the Bay Area in about thirty years,
so don't miss the rare opportunity to meet this talented and versatile author.

Sunday August 21st, at 2:00pm, Michael Blumlein, THE HEALER (Pyr):
Borderlands is pleased to welcome Michael Blumlein, the author of THE MOVEMENT
OF MOUNTAINS, and X,Y, as well as the award-winning story collection
THE BRAINS OF RATS . He has been nominated twice for the World Fantasy
Award and twice for the Bram Stoker Award. In addition to writing,
Dr. Blumlein practices and teaches medicine at the University of California
at San Francisco. Now Blumlein brings his experience as a practicing
physician to bear in his novel THE HEALER, which subtly and beautifully examines
the ways in which society both reveres and fears members of the medical profession.
THE HEALER is a story of human life and death, human rites and rituals, seen
through the eyes of an outsider, one who knows humans better, perhaps, than
they know themselves. Join us to meet this fascinating author!
Saturday September 10th from 10:00am - 5:00pm, Sonoma County Book Festival:
Join Borderlands and dozens of other vendors in Santa Rosa's Courthouse Square
for this sixth annual celebration of the literary arts. There will

Borderlands is delighted to welcome the prolific and talented Robin Hobb,
author of the beloved FARSEER books. SHAMAN'S CROSSING is the first

dedicated "To Caffeine and Sugar - my companions through many a long night
of writing." We know you're going to love Robin Hobb! Check out
her thoroughly entertaining website here: ( http://www.robinhobb.com/ )

welcome Brian and Phil for a zombie double-header! Brian Keene is the
charismatic author of THE RISING, and many, many forthcoming books.
Philip Nutman is a novelist, short story writer, comic book scriptwriter,
and screenwriter. Join us for a whole afternoon of the living dead!
Sunday September 18th at 3:00pm, David Morell, CREEPERS:
Join us to meet David Morrell! From Publisher's Weekly: "Morrell takes
a creative kind of breaking-and-entering as the premise for his latest thriller.
. ., a gripping story that demands to be read in a single sitting.
Disguising himself as a journalist, Frank Balenger, ex-U.S. Army Ranger and
Iraqi war veteran, joins a group of "Creepers," also known as infiltrators,
urban explorers or city speleologists—men and women who outfit themselves
with caving gear to break into and explore buildings that have long been
closed up and abandoned. Though what they're doing is technically illegal,
participants pride themselves on never stealing or destroying anything they
find at these sites. They take only photographs and aim to leave no
footprints. Balenger joins a group of four: the leader, Professor Robert
Conklin, high school teacher Vincent Vanelli and graduate students Rick and
Cora Magill. This gang infiltrates the Paragon Hotel, an abandoned,
seven-story, pyramidal Asbury Park, N.J., structure built in 1901 by eccentric,
hemophiliac Morgan Carlisle. Balenger and the professor have a special
agenda, but the others are there simply for the thrills. Things quickly
begin to unravel in life-threatening ways once the intrepid infiltrators
penetrate the building—they aren't the only ones creeping around the spooky
hotel. Morrell delivers first-rate, suspenseful storytelling once again."
Borderlands event policy - all events are free of charge. You are welcome
to bring copies of an author's books purchased elsewhere to be autographed

For most events you are welcome to bring as many books as you wish for autographs.
If you are unable to attend the event we will be happy to have a copy of
the author's books signed or inscribed for you. We can then either
hold it until you can come in to pick it up or we can ship it to you.
Just give us a call or drop us an email. If you live out of town, you
can also ship us books from your collection to be signed. Call or email
for details.
