May 11 (Monday, 5:00 pm)Warwick's is hosting author and yoga phenomenon Rachel Brathen, better known as “Yoga Girl,” has won the hearts of more than 1 million Instagram followers by sharing spectacular photos of yoga poses she strikes on glittering Aruba beaches alongside stories about life’s triumphs and heartbreaks. Now she’s bringing together her signature wisdom and personal journey in her first highly anticipated book, Yoga Girl. This is a meet-and-greet event with a photo opportunity. Please call the Warwick's Book Dept. (858) 454-0347 for details.

Part memoir, part yoga guide, Yoga Girl reveals Rachel’s incredible evolution from unruly teen to world-renowned yoga practitioner. Growing up in Sweden, Rachel lived a wild, self-destructive life – smoking a pack of cigarettes a day, drinking heavily, and lying to her parents. Everything changed when her mother sent her to a local meditation retreat. There she found peace, balance, and a desire to deepen her yoga knowledge that sent her on a trans-Atlantic journey from the jungles of Costa Rica to the island paradise of Aruba

May 12 (Tuesday, 7:00 pm)Warwick’s and  the La Jolla Riford Library are pleased to host the author of the first major American novel about the Los Angeles race riots of 1992, All Involved. Only books purchased from Warwick's will be signed.

Ryan Gattis is a novelist, lecturer at Chapman University, and Creative Director for urban art crew UGLAR. He is the author of the novels Roo Kickkick & The Big Bad Blimp; Kung Fu High School, The Big Drop: Homecoming and The Big Drop: Impermanence. He lives in Los Angeles.

A propulsive and ambitious novel as electrifying as The Wire, from a writer hailed as the West Coast’s Richard Price—a brutal and mesmerizing epic of crime and opportunity, race, revenge, and loyalty, set in the chaotic streets of South Central L.A. in the wake of one of the most notorious, incendiary, and racially charged trials of the 1990s, involving the severe beating of a civilian black man and three white LAPD officers.

At 3:15 p.m. on April 29, 1992, a jury acquitted two Los Angeles Police Department officers charged with using excessive force to subdue civilian Rodney King, and failed to reach a verdict on the same charges involving a third officer. Less than two hours later, the city of L.A., a powder keg of racial tension, exploded in violence as people took to the streets in a riot that lasted six days. In 144 hours, fifty-three lives were lost. Yet, that number does not account for the murders that occurred outside active rioting sites—some committed by gangbangers who used the chaos to viciously settle old scores.

A gritty and cinematic work of fiction, All Involved vividly recreates this turbulent and terrifying time through seventeen interconnected first-person narratives. Focusing on a sliver of Los Angeles almost completely ignored by the media during the riots, Ryan Gattis paints a portrait of modern America itself—laying bare our history, our prejudices, and our complexities. Resonant with the voices of gang members, firefighters, graffiti kids, and nurses caught up in these extraordinary circumstances, All Involved is a literary tour de force that catapults this edgy writer into the ranks of such legendary talents as Dennis Lehane and George V. Higgins.

The La Jolla Riford Library, 7555 Draper Ave, La Jolla. Reserved Seating is available.

For more information regarding the event, please contact Warwick's Books | 7812 Girard Avenue | La Jolla, Ca | 92037 | Ph. (858) 454-0347 | http://www.warwicks.com |

Lydia is the favorite child of Marilyn and James Lee; a girl who inherited her mother's bright blue eyes and her father's jet-black hair. Her parents are determined that Lydia will fulfill the dreams they were unable to pursue - in Marilyn's case that her daughter become a doctor rather than a homemaker, in James's case that Lydia be popular at school, a girl with a busy social life and the centre of every party. But Lydia is under pressures that have nothing to do with growing up in 1970s small town Ohio. Her father is an American born of first-generation Chinese immigrants, and his ethnicity, and hers, make them conspicuous in any setting. When Lydia's body is found in the local lake, James is consumed by guilt and sets out on a reckless path that May destroy his marriage. Marilyn, devastated and vengeful, is determined to make someone accountable, no matter what the cost. Lydia's older brother, Nathan, is convinced that local bad boy Jack is somehow involved. But it's the youngest in the family - Hannah - who observes far more than anyone realises and who May be the only one who knows what really happened. Everything I Never Told You is a gripping page-turner, about secrets, love, longing, lies and race.

Meanwhile, the love of Wilde's life, Mercy Underhill, unexpectedly shows up on his doorstep and takes under her wing a starving orphan with a tenuous grasp on reality.

Our hero, Gil Shannon has a problem with authority and doesn’t follow the rules—but he also doesn’t back down from a fight. However, in The Sniper and the Wolf has Shannon finally met his match when another lethal sniper proves to be more dangerous? Will he be overwhelmed by “The Wolf?”

Gil Shannon is hot on the trail of his most recent target a Chechen terrorist, Dokka Umarov—who is based on a real life Chechen military figure—when he is sidelined by expert sniper, Sasha Kovalenko, “The Wolf”. Shannon turns from the hunter to the hunted when his mission is exposed by a traitor high up in U.S. government. Shannon must turn to a deadly Russian special operative, Ivan Dragunov, to help even the odds. But when they discover that “The Wolf” is just the tip of a global terrorist plot whose goal is to upend the U.S. economy and the stability of the Western world, Shannon and Dragunov must track the terrorists down before their plan comes to fruition.

Despite the cooperation of the Russian military (and an appearance by President Putin!) the hunt takes Shannon from Sicily to the Ukraine to Russia in an effort to dismantle terrorist intentions. Shannon comes head-to-head with legions of enemy fighters all across Europe in this white-knuckle realistic military thriller ending with a faceoff between Gil and the one sniper who may be his equal shot, “The Wolf”.

May 24 (Sunday, 2:00 pm) — Noted surfing historian John Blair will discuss his new book Southern California Surf Music, 1960-1966.

Southern California Surf Music, 1960-1966 features seldom seen archival photographs that illustrate the early history of this unique musical style. Dick Dale & the Del-Tones began holding weekend dances at the Rendezvous Ballroom in Balboa, California, in the summer of 1960. Over the next year and a half, Dale developed the sound and style that came to be known as “surf music.” The result was the development of more powerful guitar amplifiers, a dramatic increase in the sales of Fender guitars and amplifiers, and a shift from New York to West Coast recording studios. More and more people were drawn to the sport of surfing, which became an important part of teen beach culture at the time. Even landlocked teenagers were captured by the moment, carrying surfboards atop their woodies in Phoenix or bleaching their hair blonde in St. Paul. For hundreds of thousands of kids, though, the attraction was not the connection to surfing; it was the connection to the music pioneered by Dick Dale.

John Blair is a writer, producer, and guitarist who has made significant contributions to the history of surf music. He has written several books, dozens of magazine articles, and provided liner notes for many retrospective surf music compilation recordings.
