Blair Mastbaum at Books Inc in the Castro May 15, 2008

Lambda Award-winning Novelist Blair Mastbaum, author of Clay’s Way, will be reading selections from his new novel, Us Ones in Between.

Us Ones in Between; a story of sexual obsession turned violent in Manhattan's East Village. Kurt Smith can't get over the split with his ex-boyfriend. When Kurt's failure to reconnect becomes more than he can handle, the line between fantasy and reality is blurred-and even Kurt can't be sure he's not responsible for the killings making local headlines.

Books Inc. is a locally owned and operated independent bookseller with 10 locations in California. Books Inc.’s origin dates back to the Gold Rush Days of 1851 when Anton Roman struck it rich in Shasta City, California and set himself up in business selling books. That small bookstore was moved, bought, sold, burned, rebuilt, renamed and became Books Inc., as we know it today, in 1946.

Today, with 10 Stores and 200 employees, Books Inc. serves as a shining example that independent bookselling can survive and prosper, even if we must dance among the elephants.
