Author talk: Robin Hobb discusses new book, “Blood of Dragons” Bestselling fantasy author of Rain Wilds Chronicles will be at the Tumwater library Sat., June 1 International bestselling fantasy author Robin Hobb will be at the Tumwater Timberland Library to talk about her new book, “Blood of Dragons,” the final volume in her series, “Rain Wilds Chronicles.” She will also sign books. Books will be available for purchase. The event will be held on Saturday, June 1 from 2 to 3 p.m. Blood of Dragons completes the story of the dragons, their keepers, and their quest to find the lost city of Kelsingra and the mythical silver wells that could save the dragons from extinction. Hobb’s epic Rain Wilds Chronicles has been praised by Booklist as “one of the most gripping settings in modern fantasy,” and Publishers Weekly called the story “a meticulously realized fantasy tale” and “a welcome addition to contemporary dragon lore.” The first three titles in the series are Dragon Keeper, Dragon Haven and City of Dragons. Hobb has also written four other fantasy series. Hobb was born in California, grew up in Alaska, and currently lives in Tacoma. She also publishes short fiction and contemporary fantasy under the name Megan Lindholm. (The Wizard of the Pigeons, Windsingers, and Cloven Hooves) The Inheritance, a collection of stories, was written under both names. Works written as Lindholm have been finalists for the Hugo award and the Nebula Award. She has also twice won an Isaac Asimov’s Science Fiction Readers’ Award. Her website is http://robinhobb.com. -

My Friend Dahmer 2017
My friend dahmer by Marc Meyers based on the graphic novel by John Backderf OVER BLACK: When I was a kid, I was just like anybody else. -Jeffrey Dahmer FADE IN: A DEAD CAT on the side of the road. Flies swarm around. Cars pass. Then, a thunderous rumble. The large tires of a PENCIL YELLOW SCHOOL BUS approach and come into focus. EXT. COUNTRY ROAD, OHIO - AFTERNOON (1977) - ESTABLISHING The bus barrels down the two-lane blacktop, cutting through the wooded countryside. JEFF DAHMER, 16, gazes out the window. His blank face is hidden behind WIRE-RIMMED GLASSES and SHAGGY, TOWHEADED HAIR. His eyes track the roadkill as the bus drives past. INT. SCHOOL BUS - CONTINUOUS Full of jabbering TEENAGERS. Awkward freshman sit closer to the front. Cooler kids own the back rows. In a middle row, Jeff is by his lonesome. Three average teenagers in the row directly in front of him play Twenty Questions: PIMPLE FACE Is it a person? BOWL CUT Yes. FRECKLE FACE Is the person living? BOWL CUT Yes. PIMPLE FACE Is the person famous? BOWL CUT Sort of. The Bus driver grips the steering wheel as the bus hits a cluster of potholes. Everyone bounces, but no pause to the antics. 2. JOHN “DERF” BACKDERF, 17, sits in the front. He has a subversive confidence. Already resigned to his band-nerd status, he no longer gives a shit. He RIPS OUT a page from his pad: DERF Dang it. The bumpy ride ruined his cartoon. He starts a new sketch that mocks the Bus Driver clenching the steering wheel: BUS DRIVER Calm down in the back. -
