Sedona AZ (April 26, 2014) – Sedona author and photographer, Suzanne Clementz, will debut her new Sedona book – Discover the Wonders of Sedona – at The Well Red Coyote bookstore on Saturday, May 3, at 1:00 pm.
Discover the Wonders of Sedona is two books in one – a coffee table-worthy book for locals, filled with a detailed natural history and an archeological guide for the whole Sedona & Verde Valley area, which those of us who live here love about the area; and, a tourist keepsake book, filled with chapters devoted to seasonal scenic images of Arizona’s enthralling red rock country.
There are also chapters colorfully detailing 100 individual species of birds, and all the most common flowers, shrubs, trees, cacti, mammals, reptiles, and insects encountered here. You’ll also find sections on the fascinating geological and archeological backgrounds of the area, and illustrated summaries of national monuments, state parks, and U.S. Forest Service archeological sites include driving directions and/or GPS coordinates.
Clementz’s writing is conversational and caring, sharing insights gained by her 40 years’ residence in Sedona. The geology chapter is by Sedona geologist Paul Lindberg. Animal art is by Gary Romig.
She will do brief talks about the book at 1 pm and 2 pm, and will available for signing books between 1 – 3 pm.
Longtime Sedona resident Suzanne Clemenz roamed the country with her late husband Bob for 23 years as freelance photographers, taking photographs for their stock photo business. Together they published Glorius Seasons of Sedona. She spent two years researching and photographing Discover the Wonders of Sedona. “My goal was to create a comprehensive book that introduces a visitor, student, or resident to Sedona’s geology, history, flora and fauna, and also to the beauties of its seasons.”
Discover the Wonders of Sedona makes an ideal gift for your friends and family, to show them exactly why you love this area. The beautiful photographs and the wealth of history and resources packed into this scenic guide also make it a must-have gift for yourself.
