Happenings

May 21, 6-8pm @ Back of Beyond Books | Robyn Dabney signs her new book, “The Ascenditure”

May 21, 2024

Note: Robyn will be available to sign books from 6-8pm. There will not be a formal reading.

Robyn Dabney is an author, copyeditor, and outdoor adventure enthusiast whose favorite books span every genre. She describes her work as having something for everyone — a sprinkle of suspense, a dash of adventure, and a lot of good versus evil. She lives in Germany and maintains a home base in Moab, Utah. When she isn’t writing, Robyn talks books as a co-host of the Tipsy Nerds Book Club podcast and plays in the great outdoors (usually climbing!).

In The Ascenditure, a young adult fantasy feminist climbing tale, readers are transported into a world of perilous climbs and daring escapades, where a young female climber embarks on a journey to prove herself worthy of a coveted spot on an elite climbing team in a kingdom that relegates women to the home.

Ex-Wife by Ursula Parrott

You would never know this 1929 tale of a young divorcee in NYC was written a century ago. Scandalous at the time, it now reads as an elegantly written story of surviving heartbreak. In a modern view, this would be classified as autofiction- Parrott herself was married and divorced multiple times and her protagonist, Patricia, seems a barely veiled cipher of the author. I tore through this bittersweet volume in an afternoon. Parrott really knows her onions, as they say!

Andrew Gulliford is professor of history at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado. He is an award-winning author whose books include Boomtown Blues: Colorado Oil Shale; Sacred Objects and Sacred Places: Preserving Tribal Traditions; and The Woolly West: Colorado’s Hidden History of Sheepscapes.

Designated in 2016 by President Obama and reduced to 85 percent of its original size one year later by President Trump, Bears Ears National Monument continues to be a flash point of conflict between ranchers, miners, environmental groups, states’ rights advocates, and Native American activists.
In this volume, Andrew Gulliford synthesizes 11,000 years of the region’s history to illuminate what’s truly at stake in this conflict and distills this geography as a place of refuge and resistance for Native Americans
who seek to preserve their ancestral homes, and for the descendants of Mormon families who arrived by wagon train in 1880.

Gulliford’s engaging narrative explains prehistoric Pueblo villages and cliff dwellings, Navajo and Ute history, impacts of the Atomic Age, uranium mining, and the pothunting and looting of Native graves that inspired the passage of the Antiquities Act over a century ago. The book describes how the national monument came about and its deep significance to five native tribes.

Bears Ears National Monument is a bellwether for public land issues in the American West. Its recognition will be a relevant topic for years to come.

✨Join us tomorrow in the back of Back of Beyond Books from 5-7 pm for a reading with Andrew Gulliford!!
