SUMMARY:Nicholas Belardes talks about his new horror novel Ten Sleep
DESCRIPTION:Thursday June 26th  7:00 to 8:00 pm \nJordan Peele’s Nope meets True Grit in Nicholas Belardes’s Ten Sleep\, a supernatural modern-day western about a trio of young people on a 10-day cattle drive that leads them through a canyon haunted by ancient mysteries and savage beasts who existed long before humankind. \nA young Mexican American woman detects uncanny creatures stalking her on a cattle drive toward a canyon soaked in blood in an unforgettable novel\, brilliantly infusing the modern Western with spine-chilling horror . . . \nWhen Greta Molina’s old friend Tiller offered her the job\, a ten-day cattle drive across the Wyoming prairie from the ranching town of Ten Sleep\, it sounded like a well-paid break. Three hundred and twenty cows and calves\, two guys her age she’s known since college\, and a few long days on an ATV will give her time to sort out the mess in her head. The canyon along the trail has a history\, sure\, but nature has a tendency toward violence. Greta can accept that\, even if it makes her insides squirm. \nWhat Greta doesn’t know is the legacy of murder and rot that runs deep into the rocks of this land. As each night passes on the prairie\, the trio faces mounting supernatural dangers: a ghost train of the damned\, wild animals walking alongside dead ones–and evidence of a gigantic creature in the skies\, one that’s supposedly been extinct for eons. And Tiller may be hiding even darker secrets the further they go. Safety is only ten sleeps away\, but Greta soon realizes that may be too long for all of them to survive. \nNicholas Belardes’s Ten Sleep is a fresh portrayal of the American West for fans of Catriona Ward\, Victor LaValle and Jordan Peele’s Nope\, by a rising star in horror.

SUMMARY:Paul Condon will be discussing his book "How Compassion Works: A Step-By-Step Guide to Cultivating Well-Being\, Love\, and Wisdom" with Cody Christopherson
DESCRIPTION:Monday July 21st  7:00 to 8:00 pm \nPaul’s conversation partner will be Cody Christopherson. \nUncover your innate capacity for love\, presence\, and wisdom with compassion training adapted from Tibetan Buddhism and contemporary psychology. \nEverything we care about–our mental and physical well-being\, our relationships\, our spiritual life\, our ability to be useful to others–depends on our ability to access love and compassion within ourselves first. This clear\, step-by-step guide offers a way to cultivate this power through an evidence-based meditation method called Sustainable Compassion Training (SCT). \nWith practices drawn from Tibetan traditions\, attachment theory\, and cognitive science\, How Compassion Works uses a progressive series of meditations to gradually build our capacity for mindfulness and presence–and to help us avoid empathic distress\, compassion fatigue\, or burnout. Organized into three categories–receptive mode\, deepening mode\, and inclusive mode–these practices help us cultivate unconditional care and discernment from within. \nWith a flexible framework that allows practitioners to integrate their own religious or spiritual beliefs\, this book offers practices suitable for people of all faiths and those seeking a purely secular path. \nPAUL CONDON\, PhD\, is an associate professor of psychology at Southern Oregon University and a research fellow at the Mind & Life Institute. His work has appeared in leading psychology journals and Buddhist magazines\, as well as The New York Times and other major publications. Paul is codeveloper of the Sustainable Compassion Training model\, and he teaches Tibetan Buddhist meditation for multi-faith and secular practitioners. \nDr. Cody Christopherson is a clinical psychologist and Professor of Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Southern Oregon University\, where he has trained Masters-level therapists since 2012. His research has included improving the trustworthiness of psychology through open‑science collaborations as published in Science and featured in the Smithsonian Magazine. He will be presenting research on psychology in comics at San Diego Comic-Con Summer 2025. He maintains a private practice in Ashland\, Oregon. \n

SUMMARY:The Little Prince: Navigating By Heart Under The Stars
DESCRIPTION:Thursday July 24th\, 6:00 to 8:00 pm\n\n\n\nSo well known it’s often overlooked\, The Little Prince is anything but simple. Beneath its childlike surface lives a layered\, luminous work – part fable\, part spiritual cartography\, part wartime reckoning. Its author\, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry\, aviator\, exile\, and poet of the invisible\, remains a figure uncannily at home in every era – including ours. In an age of noise\, speed\, and crisis\, how do we stay faithful to what matters: beauty\, truth\, and the sacred?\n\n This is not a lecture. It’s a conversation.We’ll revisit some of the book’s most enduring moments – the rose\, the fox\, the king – and ask what they reveal about the world we live in now. What does it mean to tend to something fragile? To meet power when it is hollow? To choose care over cleverness?\n\nGrégory Brun\, vintner\, engineer and director of the Monterey Friends of CG Jung is the founder of Ashland Symposia. He grew up in Toulouse\, France\, cradle of l’Aéropostale\, where Saint-Exupéry first flew mail across oceans. He’ll guide an evening of readings and reflections\, inviting us to see The Little Prince anew – as a story still speaking to how we find our way.

SUMMARY:The Fire of Love: a memoir with author Eli Jaxon-Bear
DESCRIPTION:Monday August 18th  7:00 to 8:00 pm \nIn this intimate memoir\, spiritual teacher Eli Jaxon-Bear traces his journey from the toxic winds of Ground Zero to a cancer diagnosis that would transform his understanding of surrender and freedom. Through an affair that shattered his marriage\, the painful path to reconciliation\, and the crucible of illness\, he discovers that our deepest wounds contain our greatest wisdom. \nWhen a seemingly perfect thirty-year relationship unraveled\, Jaxon-Bear was forced to confront the subconscious layers beneath surface harmony. “We tell ourselves comments and stories about the other that we would never speak aloud\,” he writes\, revealing how relationships operate at multiple levels simultaneously. This hard-won insight arrived just before doctors told him a “ten-alarm fire” raged in his bones-a physical manifestation of emotional truth demanding to be faced. \nWith unflinching honesty\, Jaxon-Bear reveals how both relational crisis and cancer became two of his greatest teachers. His three-year death sentence transformed into an eighteen-year testament to the resilience of love and the mysterious ways of grace. His journey reminds us that transformation rarely arrives as we imagine it should-sometimes it comes as a toxic wind\, but always as an invitation to discover what in us is truly indestructible\, and how hearts blown open can find their way back to each other\, stronger at the broken places.

SUMMARY:Nathan Harris will be Signing his new novel : Amity
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday September 2nd   7:00 to 8:00 pm \nFrom the New York Times bestselling author of The Sweetness of Water comes a gripping story about a brother and sister\, emancipated from slavery but still searching for true freedom\, and their odyssey across the deserts of Mexico to escape a former master still intent on their bondage. \nNew Orleans\, 1866. The Civil War might be over\, but formerly enslaved Coleman and June have yet to find the freedom they’ve been promised. Two years ago\, the siblings were separated when their old master\, Mr. Harper\, took June away to Mexico\, where he hoped to escape the new reality of the postbellum South. Coleman stayed behind in Louisiana to serve the Harper family\, clinging to the hope that one day June would return. \nWhen an unexpected letter from Mr. Harper arrives\, summoning Coleman to Mexico\, Coleman thinks that finally his prayers have been answered. What Coleman cannot know is the tangled truth of June’s tribulations under Mr. Harper out on the frontier. And when disaster strikes Coleman’s journey\, he is forced on the run with Mr. Harper’s daughter\, Florence. Together\, they venture into the Mexican desert to find June\, all the while evading two crooked brothers who’ll stop at nothing to capture Coleman and Florence and collect the money they’re owed. As Coleman and June separately navigate a perilous\, parched landscape\, the siblings learn quickly that freedom isn’t always given–sometimes\, it must be taken by force. \nAs in his New York Times bestselling debut The Sweetness of Water\, Nathan Harris delves into the critical years of the Civil War’s aftermath to deliver an intimate and epic tale of what freedom means in a society still determined to return its Black citizens to bondage. Populated with unforgettable characters\, Amity is a vital addition to the literature of emancipation.

SUMMARY:Ashland author Bruce McConnell explores Crows Calling: An Inspiring Journey into our Better Natures
DESCRIPTION:Monday September 15th 7:00 to 8:00 pm \nSpecial Pre-Release Event for Crow-Admirers (and Anyone who Loves the Earth)! \nAshland author Bruce McConnell explores Crows Calling: An Inspiring Journey into our Better Natures\, his uplifting novel about our relationships with the natural world and each other in the face of climate change. \n“A parable of wisdom and kindness told through the eyes of the living world.” —Paul Hawken \nEarth’s animals are fed up with humanity’s mindless damage to our common home. Will a young girl and her family heed their call? \nTen-year-old Luz sets out on an overnight camping trip\, accompanied by her spiritual mentor. Peering through a canopy of California redwoods\, Luz witnesses a council of animals confronting the menace of climate change. Led by a lustrous—and talkative—crow named Koro\, the animals weigh their options. Some\, like Koro\, want to collaborate with humans. Others doubt humanity’s good intentions. The conversation compels young Luz\, innately in tune with the natural world\, to fight passionately in its defense. \nAt once a work of fact-based activism and a moving coming-of-age\, Crows Calling immerses the reader in a richly drawn family and community who\, despite their differences\, decide to dedicate their lives to the care of Grandmother Earth. They are not alone. Rather\, they are accompanied by a colorful cast of savvy planimals—trees\, coyotes\, chickens\, and even lichens—with long memories and ancient ways of healing. \nSome damage cannot be undone. Natural disasters\, public apathy\, and greed threaten everything that Luz and her friends are working for. Can the cross-species alliance find unity and resolve the climate crisis? \nBruce McConnell is an agile shapeshifter\, having flourished as a poet\, roofer\, artist-blacksmith\, engineer\, tenor\, consultant\, national security official\, non-profit executive\, and peacemaker. He sings in the Rogue Valley Peace Choir.

SUMMARY:Crush: My Year as an Apprentice Winemaker - Nicholas O'Connell Talks About His Experience
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday September 23rd 7:00 to 8:00 pm \nIn Crush Nicholas O’Connell provides a behind-the-scenes look at the daily operations of some of the world’s most prestigious wineries on the West Coast. This insider’s view of the wine world includes the intense competition for the best grapes\, the bizarre lingo of the tasting rooms\, and the visionary winemakers who magically transform grapes into high-end wine. It is a world that includes not only romance and refinement but long hours\, backbreaking labor\, mind-numbing repetition\, and fanatical dedication to quality. Such devotion resulted in the 1973 Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars Cabernet that won the best red wine at the 1976 Judgment of Paris and transformed the U.S. wine industry. \nO’Connell’s quest to master the art of wine making begins in his garage. From there he embarks on an apprenticeship at Betz and DeLille Cellar and other great wineries in California\, Oregon\, and Washington. He provides a first-person\, ground-up view of a business not yet fully explored despite record interest in wine. O’Connell also includes conversations with some of the world’s most gifted vintners\, including Warren Winiarski\, former owner of Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars.

SUMMARY:Kathy Watson author of "Orphans of the Living" in conversation with  Shirleen Holt
DESCRIPTION:Monday October 20th  7:00 to 8:00 pm \nHood River author Kathy Watson will be at Bloomsbury Books in Ashland  to read from her debut novel\, Orphans of the Living. Watson will be joined in conversation by Shirleen Holt of Medford. \nWatson and Holt worked together at Oregon Business magazine in the 1990s\, where Watson was editor in chief and Holt was managing editor. The two will talk about how Watson adapted her mother’s family story for this novel\, what is sometimes called “autofiction.” They’ll talk about how Watson created scenes in the long-ago town of Maxville\, OR\, in the Wallowa Mountains. They’ll discuss what it’s like to be writing and selling a novel in the chaotic world of book publishing\, with nearly 2\,000 new books coming out each week. \nOrphans of the Living  follows the Stovall family’s early 20th-century quest for home and redemption as they encounter racism\, poverty and inequality across the American South and West. \nThe novel is a 2025 Literary Titan Book Award Gold Medalist in Fiction. Early reviews include this one from Willy Vlautin\, winner of the 2025 Joyce Carol Oates Prize\, and author of eight novels\, including The Horse: \n“Orphans is a stunning debut. Where has this writer been hiding? It’s all blood and soul and heartache and survival. A story of the powerful and the powerless. I can’t recommend it highly enough and I can’t wait to see what she does next.” \nWith the publication of her first novel\, Orphans of the Living\, Watson is returning to her first love: fiction. She lives in Hood River\, where she writes\, leads a chefs collective\, and runs and hikes the Columbia River Gorge with Stu and Satchel\, the world’s best dog. \n

SUMMARY:Heal Your Mental Disorder: The Doctors' Step-by-Step Program for Conditions from Dementia to Schizophrenia with Author Ambuja Rosen
DESCRIPTION:Thursday October 30th  7:00 to 8:00 pm \nAmbuja Rosen presents her new book Heal Your Mental Disorder: The Doctors’ Step-by-Step Program for Conditions from Dementia to Schizophrenia. \nReaders are invited to join the many thousands of people who  have been cured of mental disorders. Ayurveda\, the oldest known  system of medicine\, has been curing people for thousands of  years\, without side effects.   \nIn this hands-on manual\, a psychiatrist and six other doctors  explain how to remove the plaques that cause mental disorders— with gentle therapies like herbs and minerals. Scientists have  found plaques like these on the brains of Alzheimer’s and autism  patients.  \nIt’s a simple science: Everything is cause-and-effect. Remove  the cause\, and the effect goes away. Babies aren’t born with  schizophrenia or panic attacks. Something causes these  disorders: trauma\, bad diet\, etc. The program in this book  removes the cause\, and the effect—the disorder–disappears.   \nThe main doctor in the book\, Jaya Ramanuja Raju\, has trained  thousands of doctors. He says\, “I’ve cured thousands of people  of schizophrenia\, Alzheimer’s\, and other mental disorders. All  their symptoms went away. And if they were taking psychiatric  drugs\, they no longer needed them.” He estimates that at least  sixty percent of his mental patients are cured.  \nThis program cures many people of addiction\, too. When they  listen to healing music\, meditate\, or do massage\, for example\,  they make their own pleasure chemicals (like endorphins). They  get so much pleasure that way that they don’t need the alcohol  or drug “high” anymore.   \nThe doctors in the book also recommend:  \n\nA healthy diet \nPositive thinking \nPurification procedures (to remove plaques) \nAromatherapy\, sound therapy\, and color therapy \nExercise \nLifestyle changes \n\n…and more.  \nReaders can fill out a questionnaire to get a customized plan.  \nThere are also chapters of counselling\, and physical health  problems. The author cites hundreds of studies to back up the  doctors’ points.  \nAnd many people share their stories of how they were cured of  mental and physical disorders.  \nThis book is for healthy people too. It will keep them safer  from Alzheimer’s and other health problems. We now know that  heart disease can be prevented with lifestyle changes; mental  disorders can be prevented that way too.

SUMMARY:Dusty Roads: Meet the Hidden Figure Who Really Ignited the Women’s Movement
DESCRIPTION:Monday November 3rd  7:00 to 8:00 pm \nTake a trip back to the “Golden Age of Air Travel” with Elaine Rock’s lively slideshow through the 1950s–70s. Relive glamorous (and sometimes outrageous) uniforms\, memorable in-flight meals\, and the cultural shifts that transformed workplace rights. Hear the inspiring story of Dusty Roads—a stewardess\, union leader\, and one of the first female lobbyists to Congress—whose persistence challenged ageism\, sexism\, and unfair airline policies\, including marriage bans for women only and firing them at age 32. Her efforts throughout her career changed those rules and opened new employment doors for both women and men nationwide. Gloria Steinem put it simply to Dusty: “I should be thanking you for everything you’ve done. You’re the one who started it all!” \nBonus: Elaine will offer attendees a door prize: a free copy of the PBS American Experience “Fly With Me” DVD\, in which she and Dusty are featured. She will also provide handouts on What Women Couldn’t Do in the 1950s and ’60s and Expectations Imposed on Men in the 1950s and ’60s.

SUMMARY:AshlandTrails.com: The Book: Jackson County Edition with Trail Maniac Jim Falkenstein
DESCRIPTION:Thursday November 13th  7:00 to 8:00 pm \nJim Falkenstein is a local trail maniac who has scoured Jackson County for every day-hike he can find. From 2 mile interpretive strolls to an 18 mile mountain bike ride around Applegate Lake\, Jim is always looking for variety. Don’t worry\, he is not an ex navy seal training to be a ninja warrior. He is 61 years old dad that could lose 20 lbs. All of these trails are “normal people friendly.” (wife’s note – change ‘All’  to ‘Most’) \nIn his book AshlandTrails.com: The Book: Jackson County Edition there are over 100 local trails from Union Creek to Grants Pass to Applegate and\, of course\, Ashland. In addition to maps and directions and trail descriptions there are QR codes for each trail. These QR codes connect your smart phone to the website www.AshlandTrails.com. \nThat’s right\, a book that connects to a website! And a website that has… Trail Videos. Jim declares that he is the originator of the Trail Video. Every trail in his book and on his website has a Trail Video with the driving\, parking\, and hiking directions. Imagine that if instead of an algorithm\, AllTrails had a soul. \nThis presentation at Bloomsbury Books on November 13th from 7:00pm to 8:00pm covers 18 trails in the Applegate Valley area. From the Sterling Mine trails over to the French Gulch area and the Bigfoot Trap. Then to the Thompson Creek area for Greyback Mountain and up to the Enchanted Forest. There will be slides and maps and stories and… a free raffle! \nMaybe you’ve seen Jim On The Trail on SOPBS or stumbled across his YouTube videos @AshlandJim or his facebook page Ashland Trails. Whether you already know his work or have never heard of him before\, this hour at Bloomsbury Books  will be a fun\, high-energy hour with plenty of very useful trail information specifically for the Applegate Valley and… from a real\, local\, human being. \nLooking forward to meeting you.
