INKWOOD EVENTS FOR FEBRUARY & MARCH

Suspense, humor, politics, art, sports, and love! Check out the diverse events at Inkwood in the next few weeks and join us for whatever tickles your fancy:

On Thursday, February 8 at 7, Edgar nominee BOB MORRIS returns with BERMUDA SCHWARTZ, his third tropical tale of ex-NFL linebacker Zack Chasteen, now on the trail of hidden treasure. In Morris's offbeat island-themed adventure, Zack embarks for Bermuda to deliver palms but is quickly sidetracked by the discovery of a wetsuit-clad corpse. Morris combines wry humor and engaging Bermuda history in what Booklist calls "a ripping good yarn". http://www.inkwoodbooks.com/NASApp/store/Product?s=showproduct&isbn=9780312328931

BOOK GROUP NIGHT - Join us for one of our most popular events, as Carla and Leslie present some of their favorite books for your book group selections.

We are delighted to be offering samples of wine from our friends at Vintage Wine Cellars (www.vintagewinecellars.com) and treats from local personal chef, Anita Jimenez (http://www.uspca.net/fl/bayareachef/). There will be special door prizes, and everyone goes home with free books and new friends. Thursday, February 15, at 7.
