- **Event Description**: Meet Terry Winckler in person at Books Inc. for a fun author talk and book signing!About this EventJoin us at Books Inc. Alameda as we present the amazing Terry Winckler, reading and signing copies of his new adventure, Afloat in Emerald City: Our Dream to Sail the World.Love of water led two questing souls to their biggest life dream — sailing the world with a family they would create as they built a vessel to take them away. Away from a place that he, a newspaper editor, had long fantasized as the Emerald City until he arrived and found it full of acidic realities. Then, she arrived, bringing joy to him and a newsroom that had forgotten how to laugh. Soon, they were laughing together on The Boat With No Name in the greatest neighborhood they ever knew: a marina full of drunks, drug users, prostitutes, and dreamers who one-by-one streaked to the far horizon until… it was their turn. But, could their relationship survive how radically the dream had changed?Terry Winckler is an award-winning journalist who has led two newspapers as executive editor, worked as a volunteer in a Mayan village, covered Guatemala’s civil war as a reporter, and hitchhiked to the U.S. through Mexico along the migrant trail. He currently resides in the San Francisco Bay Area. Winckler's memoir, "Tule Town: A Memoir of Hellraising Redemption," is a testament to his diverse experiences and insights into the lives of ordinary people in a small California town. His next book "A Voice Came Down The Mountain" is a compelling narrative that intertwines personal history with the broader context of Guatemala's civil war and the impact of guerrilla fighters. The book is a blend of memoir, journalism, and history, offering readers a deep understanding of the Maya world and the role of U.S. policies in the migrant crisis. Winckler's journey through Guatemala's revolutionary period is both poignant and instructive, making it a significant contribution to the understanding of these critical times.His work has been recognized with numerous awards in newswriting, photography, and for his contributions to nonprofit organizations.Please join us!
