Greg Mortenson discusses and signs Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Fight Terrorism and Build Nations ... One School At A Time. The author will give a talk and sign books. From the Publishers Weekly starred review: "Some failures lead to phenomenal successes, and this American nurse's unsuccessful attempt to climb K2, the world's second tallest mountain, is one of them. Dangerously ill when he finished his climb in 1993, Mortenson was sheltered for seven weeks by the small Pakistani village of Korphe; in return, he promised to build the impoverished town's first school, a project that grew into the Central Asia Institute, which has since constructed more than 50 schools across rural Pakistan and Afghanistan. Coauthor Relin recounts Mortenson's efforts in fascinating detail, presenting compelling portraits of the village elders, con artists, philanthropists, mujahideen, Taliban officials, ambitious school girls and upright Muslims Mortenson met along the way... Captivating and suspenseful, with engrossing accounts of both hostilities and unlikely friendships, this book will win many readers' hearts."

    In person, Sims is as funny as Sedaris, and if you're a mystery buff you'll discover a fantastic new series! If you're a writer, you can get some tips on writing your book, too!

    DOWN RIVER is an intelligent, beautifully composed mystery. Salisbury, NC should have a literary tour. I am eager for the next John Hart book to be published!
