Yesterday, the fourth Indiana Jones movie, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crytal Skull opened in theaters across the country.

Next Thursday, May 29, we'll have a special showing of the movie at the Oaks Theater with special guest James Rollins who wrote the novelization of the movie. Rollins, a New York Times best selling author of thrillers, will introduce the movie shortly before the 7 pm showing and then will speak and take questions afterward, around 9 pm. We'll have the new Indiana Jones book for sale as well as Rollin's other titles.

We've also got 3 authentic Indiana Jones fedoras which we'll raffle off.

The Oaks Theater is located at 310 Allegheny River Boulevard, two blocks from the store. You may call their box office at 412-828-6322 to reserve tickets for the 7 pm showing.

Jonathan Santlofer, June 2

Artist and mystery writer Jonathan Santlofer will be the guest of our Sisters in Crime chapter on Monday, June 2 at 7:30. Santlofer turned his attention to mystery writing several years ago and has combined his interest and talents in the visual arts with the literary.

His lastest book, The Murder Notebook, features Nate Rodriguez, a sketch artist for the NYPD. A unique feature of this and the earlier The Anatomy of Fear is the inclusion of drawings by Santlofer that represent the work of the protagonist.

Nancy Horan, Monday June 9

Nancy Horan, author of Loving Frank, a novel of Frank Lloyd Wright, will be our guest at a talk and signing on Monday, June 9 at the Oakmont Carnegie Library.

Horan's book focuses on Wright's long-time relationship with Mamah Cheney and a portrait of a woman struggling with her own passions as well as the conventions that bound women of the period.
