C M Wendelboe - Author Appearance and Book Signing

Lady K and I had a really good time last night at the Oriental and Navajo Rug Gallery in Longmont, CO where we got to listen to and meet author C M Wendelboe. His debut book, DEATH ALONG THE SPIRIT ROAD, has received excellent reviews so I was especially looking forward to the event.

Curt spoke for 45 minutes on his life of writing, his 38 year career as a sheriff in Pine Ridge, South Dakota. His life of lawkeeping gave the book it's sense of reality to the characters.

He started out the talk by greeting us in Lakota. I was immediately enthralled and completely forgot to ask how he came to learn the eloquent language.

I bought two copies of the book, one for my keeper shelf and one for Dad who I know is going to be a big fan. I had hoped he'd either stayed out here longer or come back out so he could come with me to meet the author and Cynthia, owner of High Crimes.
I have DEATH ALONG THE SPIRIT ROAD up next on the nightstand. I cannot wait to read it.

Book Signing Tonight for C M Wendelboe - DEATH ALONG THE SPIRIT ROAD

High Crimes Mystery Bookshop (http://www.highcrimesbooks.com/) is hosting author C M Wendelboe and his debut novel, DEATH ALONG THE SPIRIT ROAD, at 7:00 P.M. at The Oriental & Navajo Rug Gallery,927 MAIN STREET, LONGMONT, CO .

I looked the book up and Publisher's Weekly called it " the absorbing first in a new Native American series" and harstan/Harriet Klausner said, "This Native American police procedural is a strong whodunit."

Lady K and I are taking off in a few minutes. I hope to take photos and definitely getting a copy (or two) of his book. Cannot wait to read it!
