Join this fun and timely Book Talk conversation on Thursday, March 17, 2022 from 7-8 p.m. PST, at Mysterious Galaxy Bookstore in San Diego OR online via Crowdcast. For this special event (both in person and online), bestselling authors Rick Bleiweiss and Rex Pickett will discuss their new mystery novels. Bleiweiss is a Grammy-nominated producer, author and publisher of Pickett’s new book, who will discuss and sign copies of “Pignon Scorbion & the Barbershop Detectives” (Feb 2022). Bleiweiss’ new mystery novel is an Agatha Christie-type book, and has been recognized as a "Top Mystery" pick for both Publisher's Weekly and Amazon Editors. Pickett (author, “Sideways") is from San Diego, and will discuss and sign copies of his new mystery novel (“The Archivist”), and why the murder in this new fiction book takes place in San Diego. Both Rick and Rex will also talk about overcoming rejection as an author (Rex’s “Sideways” was rejected 250 times and Rick wrote 17 books/short stories before publishing his first novel.) Both will encourage you to go after your dreams - at any age - never give up. Follow @RickBleiweissAuthor @RexPickett and @mystgalaxybooks.

Warwick's upcoming book launch The New Digital Enterprise by Ron Kagan long-time La Jolla resident focuses on our changing digital landscape -- both internal and external -- and how we connect to it to accelerate our efforts. The book is about the increase in remote work and growing market from remote customers. It focuses on building digital hubs to reach across these boundaries. It introduces newer technologies and management approaches that save time and expense by involving key individuals from the beginning. The hybrid workplace of today’s business culture we all now work in makes The New Digital Enterprise a tool that is more relevant than ever. And that boils downtown taking a new approach. The new book gives a blueprint to understand the needs and steps to empower employees and move forward on new endeavors (projects, new concepts you might have thought of in COVID downtown, etc). Everyone can relate to that sitting in our homes as we have. There is a buzz about this book in town already.
