This is a shining new story crafted out of old ones, in a world that echoes our own. An entrancing and moving read."—Kate Heartfield, author of The Embroidered Book"I thoroughly enjoyed this compelling braid of wonders and sins!"—Davinia Evans, author of Notorious SorcererM. A. Carrick is the joint pen name of Marie Brennan (author of the Memoirs of Lady Trent) and Alyc Helms (author of the Adventures of Mr. Mystic). The two met in 2000 on an archaeological dig in Wales and Ireland, including a stint in the town of Carrickmacross, and have built their friendship through two decades of anthropology, writing, and gaming. They live in the San Francisco Bay Area.Andrea Stewart is the daughter of immigrants, and was raised in a number of places across the United States. Her parents always emphasized science and education, so she spent her childhood immersed in Star Trek and odd-smelling library books.When her (admittedly ambitious) dreams of becoming a dragon slayer didn't pan out, she instead turned to writing books. She now lives in sunny California, and in addition to writing, can be found herding cats, looking at birds, and falling down research rabbit holes. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/mountain-view/ma-carrick-at-books-inc-mountain-view/100001990915718508 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, trips-adventures, fine-arts, trekking, science-fair, storytelling - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour - Location: Books Inc. - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Mountain View - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Books Inc. - **lat**: 37.3922279 - **long**: -122.0797416 - **full address**: Books Inc., 317 Castro Street, Mountain View, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: M.A. CARRICK at Books Inc.
