Connie Willis (Powells Books at Cedar Hills Crossing, @7:00pm): Connie Willis, the Nebula and Hugo Award-winning author of Doomsday Book, returns with Blackout (Spectra), an epic time-traveling story that follows three researchers from the future who are stranded in the past during World War II. “Willis uses detail and period language exquisitely well, creating an engaging, exciting tale,” praises Publishers Weekly.

Robert Goolrick (Powells City of Books, @7:30pm): Filled with unforgettable characters, and shimmering with color and atmosphere, Robert Goolrick’s A Reliable Wife (Algonquin) is an enthralling tale of love and madness, of longing and murder. “A sublime murder ballad that doesn’t turn out at all the way one might expect,” proclaims Kirkus (starred review).
