Manager Your Earle Peterson

Almost 20 years with Books Inc, having managed stores in San Francisco, the peninsula and SFO.  I tend to read history and biographies, and also love a good mystery.  Happy to be selling books in the bay area, where there is such a well read community that supports independent book selling.

Sixteen Ways to Defend a Walled City Cover Image

ISBN: 9780316270793

Published: Orbit - April 9th, 2019

The first of three books set during a mighty empire's fall (resembling Byzantium). There is no magic in this world, other than the sparkling wit of the reluctant heros and Mr. Parker's keen powers of observation. I dar say equivalent to Discworld.
