PSB House Concert with Jesse Terry

Songs are literature! Join us for an intimate evening of song and story with Americana/folk singer-songwriter Jesse Terry.

What is a house concert? A house concert is an intimate listening event where music is the focus. A community gathering in support of artists and their work.

Seating is limited. We are asking for a $20-$25 suggested donation per person attending. All donations go to the artists! Please RSVP to reserve your seats at events@paulinaspringsbooks.com.

About Jesse Terry:

Whatever magic potion the troubadours in Laurel Canyon were sipping on in 1971, Jesse Terry has managed to track it down and take a deep gulp.  Jesse is an internationally touring, award-winning singer-songwriter, and has toured relentlessly, sharing stages with folks like Paula Cole, Liz Longley, Tony Lucca and Red Molly, as well as playing major festivals such as Bonnaroo, Philadelphia Folk Festival, 30A and AmericanaFest. His most recent album 'Arcadia,' is rooted in rhythmic rock & roll and sharp songwriting. It's a big, bold sound - the sort of record that begs to be played in the car, windows rolled down, driving down the fast lane toward some new horizon. Terry says, "I'm more obsessed with music than ever before. I love the idea of bringing something beautiful into the world." The Grand Prize winner of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest and the NSAI/CMT Song Contest, Jesse’s songs have been featured on many network television shows, including Netflix's Virgin River, the CW’s Hart of Dixie and PBS’ Roadtrip Nation.

"...he's a force to be reckoned with. His well-crafted songs rank right there with Ryan Adams, Rhett Miller and other masters of alt-country."- John Platt - WFUV - New York City

“Beautifully crafted songs from a master singer-songwriter. A joy to play on my radio show with great reaction from listeners. Jesse deserves to be up there with the likes of James Taylor & Jackson Browne.”— Paddy MacDee - BBC Radio Newcastle

IN PERSON EVENT: Rod Scher presents Ship of Lost Souls: The Tragic Wreck of the Steamship Valencia

About Ship of Lost Souls:

In January of 1906, off the coast of Vancouver Island, BC, almost everyone aboard the steamship Valencia died, including every single woman and child, when the vessel crashed into the jagged rocks just off of the island. Some 170+ souls perished within a couple hundred yards of land, and in spite of the fact that ships had been dispatched to rescue them. This is the story of that disaster, about who was at fault, and about the lessons we may or may not have learned from the tragedy.

Riveting! A stranger-than-fiction tale that memorializes the Valencia among the great lost steamships of history—and one lost in the most jaw-dropping of ways.Daniel Stone, national bestselling author of Sinkable: Obsession, The Deep Sea, and The Shipwreck of the Titanic

A fascinating story of tragedy, terror and drama that has been well researched and passionately told. Hard to put down once you start reading.Richard M. Jones, author and historian

Author bio:

Rod Scher began his working life teaching English in high schools in California and Oregon; he continued teaching at the post-secondary level until 2016. In between, he worked as an editor for textbooks and magazines, and also as a software developer, writing software for StudyWare, the educational software company he and two partners founded in 1986. In 1992, that company was purchased by Cliffs Notes, which is how he found his way to Nebraska, where Cliffs Notes was located. (It turns out that if you live long enough, you get to have multiple careers. Go figure.)

Now back on the West Coast, Rod has built a "retirement" career as an experienced writer/editor who has annotated or edited many books and written countless magazine articles—mostly on technical or computer-related topics. 

His love of sailing, though, has especially attracted him to books of a nautical nature, resulting in annotations of Joshua Slocum's classic Sailing Alone Around the World and Richard Henry Dana's Two Years Before the Mast. That's one reason he was excited about the opportunity to write Sailing by Starlight, the story of Marvin Creamer's early-80s circumnavigation in his 35' sloop, Globe Star. The voyage was completed without the use of instruments of any kind: no sextant, no compass, no radar . . . not even a wristwatch.

IN PERSON: Marie Bostwick presents The Book Club for Troublesome Women


Best-selling author Marie Bostwick will join us for an afternoon presentation/Q&A/signing for her new book The Book Club for Troublesome Women.

About The Book Club for Troublesome Women:

By 1960s standards, Margaret Ryan is living the American woman's dream. She has a husband, three children, a station wagon, and a home in Concordia--one of Northern Virginia's most exclusive and picturesque suburbs. She has a standing invitation to the neighborhood coffee klatch, and now, thanks to her husband, a new subscription to A Woman's Place--a magazine that tells housewives like Margaret exactly who to be and what to buy. On paper, she has it all. So why doesn't that feel like enough?

Margaret is thrown for a loop when she first meets Charlotte Gustafson, Concordia's newest and most intriguing resident. As an excuse to be in the mysterious Charlotte's orbit, Margaret concocts a book club get-together and invites two other neighborhood women--Bitsy and Viv--to the inaugural meeting. As the women share secrets, cocktails, and their honest reactions to the controversial bestseller The Feminine Mystique, they begin to discover that the American dream they'd been sold isn't all roses and sunshine--and that their secret longing for more is something they share. Nicknaming themselves the Bettys, after Betty Friedan, these four friends have no idea their impromptu club and the books they read together will become the glue that helps them hold fast through tears, triumphs, angst, and arguments--and what will prove to be the most consequential and freeing year of their lives.

The Book Club for Troublesome Women is a humorous, thought provoking, and nostalgic romp through one pivotal and tumultuous American year--as well as an ode to self-discovery, persistence, and the power of sisterhood.

Author Bio:

A New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of nineteen uplifting works of historical and contemporary fiction, Marie’s books are beloved by readers across the globe.

Drawing on her lifelong love of quilting and her unshakable belief in the power of sisterhood, Marie’s popular Cobbled Court Quilt series has been embraced by quilters and non-sewers alike. Her standalone books have also found a passionate following among lovers of women’s fiction. Marie’s novel, “The Second Sister” was adapted into the 2018 Hallmark Hall of Fame feature film “Christmas Everlasting”, starring Patti LaBelle. Marie’s novel, Hope on the Inside, was published in March 2019 and was chosen as a Reader’s Digest “Select Editions” book.

Marie lives in Oregon with her husband and a beautiful but moderately spoiled Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.

IN PERSON EVENTL: Lynne Spriggs O'Connor presents Elk Love: A Montana Memoir

About Elk Love:

A world-weary museum curator and a bereaved rancher come together amidst the dazzling beauty and seasonal rhythms of a cattle ranch in a hidden Montana mountain valley—a wide-open, wind-filled place where words give way to the wisdom of nature.

Having spent ten summers on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation near Glacier National Park, part of her fieldwork for a PhD in Native American Art History, forty-two-year-old Lynne Spriggs thinks of Montana as her healing place. When she moves to “Big Sky Country” from the East Coast in a quest to reset her life, she arrives with high hopes.

Her new start in Great Falls, a farming and military town in central Montana, is not what Lynne imagined. But her dream of being more connected to nature in the American West comes alive when she meets Harrison, a handsome but cantankerous rancher. With her dog Willow by her side, visits to his hidden valley lead her to bugling elk, dancing birds, and night-calving in blizzards. In a modern world where listening is rare, Elk Love explores an intimate place where loneliness gives way to wonder, where the natural world speaks of what matters most.

Author bio:

Before moving to the rural West at age forty-two, Lynne Spriggs curated exhibitions of folk and self-taught art at the High Museum in Atlanta. She spent ten summers on northern Montana’s Blackfeet Indian reservation while pursuing fieldwork for her PhD in Native American Art History at Columbia University. She also worked in the film industry as Production Coordinator for Spalding Gray and Jonathan Demme on the iconic Swimming to Cambodia. After landing in Montana, she curated Bison: American Icon, a major permanent exhibit for the Charlie Russell Museum on bison in the Northern Plains. For the past fifteen years, she and her husband have lived on a cattle ranch in an isolated Montana mountain valley east of the Rockies, where her life centers on writing, animals, and family. Elk Love is her first memoir.

IN PERSON EVENT: Eileen Garvan presents Crow Talk

About Crow Talk:

Nationally bestselling author of The Music of Bees Eileen Garvin returns with a moving story of hope, healing, and unexpected friendship set amidst the wild natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

Frankie O’Neill and Anne Ryan would seem to have nothing in common. Frankie is a lonely ornithologist struggling to salvage her dissertation on the spotted owl following a rift with her advisor. Anne is an Irish musician far from home and family, raising her five-year-old son, Aiden, who refuses to speak.

At Beauty Bay, a community of summer homes nestled on the shores of June Lake, in the remote foothills of Mount Adams, it’s off-season with most houses shuttered for the fall. But Frankie, adrift, returns to the rundown caretaker’s cottage that has been in the hardworking O'Neill family for generations—a beloved place and a constant reminder of the family she has lost. And Anne, in the wake of a tragedy that has disrupted her career and silenced her music, has fled to the neighboring house, a showy summer home owned by her husband's wealthy family.

When Frankie finds an injured baby crow in the forest, little does she realize that the charming bird will bring all three lost souls—Frankie, Anne, and Aiden—together on a journey toward hope, healing, and rediscovering joy. Crow Talk is an achingly beautiful story of love, grief, friendship, and the healing power of nature in the darkest of times.

Author bio:

Born and raised in eastern Washington, Eileen Garvin lives in Hood River, Oregon. Her novels, The Music of Bees and Crow Talk, are national bestsellers. The Music of Bees was named a Good Morning America Buzz Pick, a Good Housekeeping Book club Pick, a People Magazine Best New Book, an IndieNext Pick, a Library Reads Pick, a Christian Science Monitor Pick, a Washington Post Best Summer Reads, and named a Most Anticipated Book of 2021 by BookRiot, Bookish, Nerd Daily, The Tempest, Midwestness and others. Eileen’s memoir, How to be a Sister, was named an Indie Next by IndieBound, a Target Book of the Month, and a Kindle Book of the Month.

 Her essays have appeared with Mom’s Don’t Have Time to Read Books, The Oregonian, PsychologyToday.com, and Creative Non-Fiction Magazine.

 Eileen shares her backyard with four chickens, wild birds of all kinds, and about 120,000 honeybees.

IN PERSON: Alexi Byrnes presents A Dirtbag Love Letter

About A Dirtbag Love Letter:

A Dirtbag Love Letter is this author’s second self-published collection of poetry and prose poetry. This book is a short form introspective exploration of place and landscape through self, and exploration of self through landscape. Rooted in a deep sense of intimacy with small towns, rivers, and wilderness areas, it reads as a poet`s travel diary in all its mysticism and magic of the outdoors. Following the fast-paced life and travels of a multiday river guide, it shows the romance of the seasonal work lifestyle in all its ups and downs through each river and location from the time of leaving to the time of returning. This full circle story told through poetry is a glimpse into the rich microculture of outdoor guides that reflects the hero`s journey with a modern cowboy twist, leaving you itching to go get out into the hidden gems of the West.

Author Bio:

Alexi Byrnes is a Pacific Northwest born writer currently based in Sisters Oregon. Known to friends as “Al”, she can often be seen walking her dog around town or haunting the local coffee shops. An avid outdoors enthusiast and musician, these two worlds are often reflected in her writing, tending to write from a place of inspiration and love of the areas and communities she is part of. Influence of the Beat generation of art and by naturalist writers can be felt in her writing and approach to art.

Light snacks provided, and drinks will be available for purchase. It’s a night you won’t want to miss!

About Onyx Storm:

After nearly eighteen months at Basgiath War College, Violet Sorrengail knows there’s no more time for lessons. No more time for uncertainty.

Because the battle has truly begun, and with enemies closing in from outside their walls and within their ranks, it’s impossible to know who to trust.

Now Violet must journey beyond the failing Aretian wards to seek allies from unfamiliar lands to stand with Navarre. The trip will test every bit of her wit, luck, and strength, but she will do anything to save what she loves—her dragons, her family, her home, and him.

Even if it means keeping a secret so big, it could destroy everything.

They need an army. They need power. They need magic. And they need the one thing only Violet can find—the truth.

But a storm is coming...and not everyone can survive its wrath.
