Alabaster Falls Concert

Alabaster Falls is an acoustic "folk grass" band based in the Minnesota North Woods.  Consisting of four accomplished musicians, their crystal clear harmonies showcase the powerhouse vocals of lead singer Julie Kaiser while Paul Jones and Bill Kaiser create guitar and dobro magic with finger picking "as delicate as fine lace."  Bassist Cal Aultman provides a solid foundation, creating an easy groove that makes Alabaster Falls one of the most listenable bands around.

Join is for this free concert and remember that a day with music is a better day!

This event is sponsored by ALS and funded by money from Minnesota's Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund.

Hollow Bones by C J Lyons

 

Maria Alvarado uses a cruise with college friends to disguise joining an archeological expedition in Guatemala which her parents would disapprove of. Her friends guarantee they can put her parents off while she discovers Mayan treasure with Prescott, assistant to well known archeologist Professor Zigler who is already on site at the temple. Prescott picks up Maria at the port of Santo Tomas and they drive off deep into the jungle. After several hours of driving, Prescott and Maria meet a truck with armed men blocking the road. In the scuffle that follows, Prescott is shot and Maria escapes into the jungle.

Back in the states, FBI Supervisory Special Agent Caitlyn Tierney is just finishing up a case when Special Agent Jake Carver shows up, bored from hiding out after a lengthy deep undercover assignment while waiting for the trial in which he must testify against a biker gang. He plans to hang out with Caitlyn once her case wraps up. Unfortunately, Caitlyn is called to investigate the disappearance of Alvarado and she is off to Guatemala. Carver wishes to go with her but she tells him to stay safe at her apartment and research the Alvarado family for the Alvarado family once lived in Guatemala but had fled to the United States decades ago.  

I enjoyed reading about FBI Special Agent Caitlyn Tierney and look forward to reading Blind Faith and Black Sheep, the first two books in the series.

"Every city has its share of crime, but what makes the Twin Cities unique may be that we have more than our share of good writers to chronicle it. They are homegrown and they know the territory - how the cities look from the inside, out. Some have built reputations on crime fiction, others are playing with the genre for the first time, but all of them have a strong sense of this place and its people." from the introduction.



Manila Noir is a book of short stories representing dark crime fiction set in the Philippines. The stories are grim, the characters are immersed in violence and death. The extremely wealthy live side by side with extreme poverty; Manila Noir is a hard book to read in one sitting. To fully appreciate the pathos, read one story, set the book aside, read something else - anything else and then go back and read another story. Read the insightful and illuminating introduction by Jessica Hagedorn to appreciate the dark atmosphere you will be thrust into.
