First Reviews Of Tahoe Moon

The first reviews of TAHOE MOON are coming in. I couldn't be happier.

Tahoe Mountain News: "Borg has hit another one out of the ballpark. Doing so every year is nothing short of amazing."

Bookin' With Sunny: "Never start a McKenna mystery in the afternoon as you're likely not to get to bed until very early the next morning."

Silver's Reviews: Brilliant, very knowledgeable author. The ending will have you flying through the pages.

Kittling: Books: "No matter how much I learn or how much I enjoy Borg's fast-paced mysteries, it's the characters who always bring me back for more. When you've got your hands on a new Owen McKenna thriller, you know you're in for a few hours of sheer reading pleasure."

I'm a lucky guy...

Lake Tahoe History Museum

 In the middle of South Lake Tahoe is the Lake Tahoe History Museum, a fantastic museum devoted to Tahoe history. It has hundreds of cool historical artifacts, many dozens of great displays, books on Tahoe, and much more. I highly recommend that you stop by and plan to spend an hour or two. You will be glad you did.

Want to learn about old Tahoe ships from the early 20th century?

Want to imagine staying at the classic Tahoe hotels from 100 years ago?

Want to learn about Washoe Basket weaving and see actual Tahoe artifacts that go back over 100 years?

It's all there at the museum.

The museum is located at 3058 Lake Tahoe Blvd, South Lake Tahoe.

Because the museum is run by volunteers, the hours are not extensive, typically 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

Visit the website for more information: http://www.laketahoemuseum.org/home.html

Or call 530-541-5458.

I've been in countless museums in my life, and I've rarely enjoyed the experience more than the times I've explored in our local museum.

Book Launch Art Festival Catch-up Blog

 Buried with more than I can keep track of, I forgot to put up a blog for this morning. So for those of you who might be wondering if I got run over by a bus after 11 or 12 years of never missing a blog deadline, don't worry. The bus missed.

When you do a proper book launch, there is a whole lotta stuff to attend to. This weekend I helped my wife set up her booth at the Los Altos Fine-Art-In-The-Park festival.

It was a great art show. Los Altos is a beautiful town, pushed up against the Santa Cruz Mountains a couple of miles south of Stanford. Great setting. Great weather. (It always strikes us how perfect Bay Area weather often is.)

We'll be back in a couple of weeks for the Palo Alto Art Festival. After that, the King's Mountain Festival, and after that, the Mountain View Festival, unique for us in that both of us will be showing. Kit will be there with her paintings. I'll be there with my books.

Hope to see you soon!
