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.

Stephen Hawking-Stephen Hawking was born on January 8, 1942 in Oxford, England. He is known as one of the greatest scientific minds of all time. At 21, he was diagnosed with a slow-progressing form of motor neurone disease that paralyzed him gradually over decades. When his speech was eventually gone, he communicated through a speech generating device that was controlled by a handheld switch, and then eventually just a single muscle in his cheek. He has written many books on the universe, science, math, time, physics, and many more scientific concepts that he gave us the foundations to expand on today.

Hilary Mantel-Hilary Mantel was born on July 6, 1952 in Glossop, Derbyshire, England. She was diagnosed with a severe form of endometriosis and went through with the only procedure to help with the disease, which ended up disrupting her for the rest of her life.

She has also written many fiction novels, like the Thomas Cromwell or Every Day Is Mother’s Day series. She’s won many literary awards and received many honors in England and internationally. #Moabutah #read #summerreading #eatsleepreadlocal #bookrecommendations #bookstagram #Backofbeyond
