Sponsor Letter, November 19th 2019

Hi You All,

Please forgive a very, very short note this month but I've been quite busy with some family matters and I am.  So.  Behind.  On.  Everything.  But, I'll have a nice year-end piece for you next month and I'll hope to see you around the shop sometime soon.

All Best,
Alan

The summer solstice version:

(2) Sunday, November 24th at 3:00 pm  -- Reading and signing for NINJA DAUGHTER by Tori Eldridge. We're happy to welcome author Tori Eldridge to Borderlands for her debut novel!  "THE NINJA DAUGHTER is an action-packed thriller about a Chinese-Norwegian modern-day ninja with Joy Luck Club family issues who fights the Los Angeles Ukrainian mob, sex traffickers, and her own family to save two desperate women and an innocent child."  Tori's own history is fascinating. . . from her bio, she is "a Honolulu-born thriller writer who challenges perspective and empowers the spirit. She holds a fifth-degree black belt in To-Shin Do Ninjutsu and has traveled the USA teaching seminars on the ninja arts, weapons, and women’s self-protection."  We hope you'll join us to meet Tori and check out this new thriller!

(3) Sunday, December 8th at noon -- Dickens Christmas Fair, Cow Palace, Daly City.  It's quickly becoming a tradition for us at Borderlands Books, and we couldn't resist another trip back in time at the Dickens Christmas Fair.  Feel free to join up with us anytime after noon-- we'll be the ones holding the tankard of ale in honor of Queen Victoria's 200th Birthday.  Tickets can be purchased directly through their website at https://dickensfair.com/.

(5) Monday, January 13th at 7:30 pm  -- Astronomy lecture featuring Catherine Espaillat at Morrison Planetarium, California Academy of Sciences.  $15.00.  If you've not had a chance to explore the Academy of Sciences, you are in for a treat.  This lecture in particular caught our eye and we hope you can join us.  From the website: "We know that planets are born in the protoplanetary disks that surround stars when they are young.  How these disks evolve into planetary systems is a fundamental question in Astronomy. Observations have revealed remarkable structures in disks that may indicate the presence of newly born planets.  This talk will review these key observations and compare them to current theoretical predictions of planet formation. To conclude,  possibilities for future progress in the field will be discussed."  Tickets are $15.00 for non-museum members, $12.00 for members and seniors.
