SUMMARY:T. Jefferson Parker: In-Person Luncheon with the Author
DESCRIPTION:The Friends of the Coronado Public Library will host T. Jefferson Parker for an intimate luncheon with the author as well as a signing of his new book\, Desperation Reef\, on July 17 at 11:30 am in the Winn Room at the Coronado Public Library. \nThe $40 ticket includes lunch and a hardcover copy of the book. Proceeds support free programs at the library such as lectures\, workshops\, classes\, concerts and children’s programs. The talk will be followed by a Q&A session and a chance to have the author sign books. This event is in partnership with Warwick’s Bookstore. To purchase tickets and reserve your seats\, please register at cplevents.org. Don’t delay – seating is limited! \nT. Jefferson Parker was born in Los Angeles and has lived all his life in Southern California. He was educated in public schools in Orange County\, and earned a bachelor’s degree in English from the University of California\, Irvine\, in 1976. His writing career began in 1978\, with a job as a cub reporter on the weekly newspaper\, The Newport Ensign. After covering police\, city hall and cultural stories for the Ensign\, Parker moved on to the Daily Pilot newspaper\, where he won three Orange County Press Club awards for his articles. Parker’s first novel\, Laguna Heat\, was written on evenings and weekends while he worked as a reporter\, and was published to rave reviews and made into an HBO movie starring Harry Hamlin\, Jason Robards and Rip Torn. He has written over 28 novels. When not working\, Parker spends his time with his family\, hiking\, fishing\, beachcombing\, and exercising his dogs. He cannot pass by a body of water without wanting to fish it. He also enjoys rock hounding\, cycling and being outdoors. \n\n\n\nAbout Desperation Reef:  \nJen Stonebreaker hasn’t entered into a big-wave surfing competition since witnessing her husband’s tragic death twenty-five years ago at the Monsters of the Mavericks. Now\, Jen is ready to tackle those same Monsters with her twin sons Casey and Brock\, who have become competitive surfers in a perilous sport. \n\n\n\nWhen he’s not riding waves\, modeling for surfing magazines\, or posting viral content for his many fans\, Casey Stonebreaker spends his days helping with the family restaurant — catching fish in the morning and bartending at night. Casey’s love for the ocean and his willingness to expose illegal poachers on his platforms puts him on a collision course with a crime syndicate eager to destroy anyone threatening their business. \nOutspoken Brock Stonebreaker couldn’t be more different from his twin. The founder of Breath of Life\, a church and rescue mission that assists with natural disasters that no one else will touch\, Brock has lived an adventurous and sometimes violent life. Not everyone appreciates the work that Brock’s Breath of Life mission accomplishes\, and threats to destroy his mission—and his family—swirl around him. \nAs the big-wave contest draws closer\, a huge\, late fall swell is headed toward the Pacific coastline. Jen’s fears gnaw at her — fear for herself\, for her sons\, for what this competition will mean for the rest of her life.
