    logo_sedonapubliclibrarySedona AZ (June 17, 2019) – Is it ever too late to see the truth? Ellen LaCorte’s propulsive debut novel, “The Perfect Fraud,” explores this question and more.

    The Literate Lizard Bookstore and Sedona Public Library host HarperCollins author Ellen LaCorte as she reads from and signs her new book “The Perfect Fraud” Friday, June 21 at 2pm at the library.  This gripping debut thriller, to be released June 18, 2019 is partially set in Sedona. The story follows two women with deep secrets who are thrown together by an unexpected meeting that plunges both their lives into chaos.

    20190617_ThePerfectFraudFirst there’s Claire, living in Sedona, Arizona with her boyfriend Cal and ducking calls from her mother, a world class psychic on the East Coast. Claire works in the family business and calls herself a psychic, but she doesn’t really have “the gift” and hasn’t for a long time. She’s a fraud.

    Meanwhile, on the other side of the country, Rena has family issues of her own. She’s divorced and Stephanie, her four-year-old daughter, suffers from mysterious, seemingly incurable stomach problems. No matter how many specialists Rena drags her to, no matter how many mommy-blog posts she makes trying to get help and support from her online community, her child only gets sicker.

    When Claire and Rena meet by chance on an airplane, their carefully constructed lives begin to explode. Can these two women help each other? Can they help Stephanie before it’s too late?

    “The Perfect Fraud,” received rave reviews from Kirkus Review and Publishers Weekly, which named “The Perfect Fraud,” a summer 2019 Top Ten.  Booklist says “LaCorte’s debut novel combines a darkly twisted plot with excellent character building, and the eerily realistic setting nicely supports the haunting narrative. This is psychological suspense with a gut-clenching finale, perfect for readers of Gillian Flynn and Brandon Massey.”

    This is a Universe of Stories Adult Summer Reading Event that is free and open to the public. Book will be for sale at the program. 

    The Library is located at 3250 White Bear Road in West Sedona. For more information call the Library at 928-282-7714.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
