Author Marc Cameron of Tom Clancy and the Jericho Quinn Thriller Series UAA Bookstore Friday May 3 4-6pm

I'm just copying this directly from the Bookstores announcement:
Friday, May 3 from 4:00 pm-6:00 pm at the UAA Campus Bookstore
Author Marc Cameron presents From Alaska: Writing Tom Clancy and the Jericho Quinn Thriller Series
Marc Cameron is the New York Times bestselling author of Tom Clancy Oath of Office, and Tom Clancy Power and Empire, the Arliss Cutter Mysteries, and the Jericho Quinn Thriller Series.  His forthcoming book, Tom Clancy Code of Honor, is due out in November.
A retired Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal, Marc Cameron, who is originally from Texas, spent nearly thirty years in law enforcement filling assignments from Alaska to Manhattan, from Canada to Mexico.  During his career, he served as a uniformed police officer, mounted (horse patrol) officer, SWAT officer, and detective.  In early 1991, he accepted a position with the U.S. Marshals Service where he moved through the ranks to retire as Chief of the District of Alaska.
Marc Cameron holds a second-degree black belt in Jujitsu and is a certified scuba diver and man-tracking instructor.  An avid sailor and adventure motorcyclist, his books often feature boats and bikes including OSI Agent Jericho Quinn’s beloved BMW GS Adventure.
Today, Marc Cameron’s home is Eagle River, AK where he lives with his wife and BMW GS motorcycle.

I'd note that the UAA pottery sale is also Friday, so if you come a little early you can check it out in the Hartlieb Building - near the greenhouse on the west side of campus.  These are student pieces and the money goes to the program.  And there are usually lots of interesting and useful pieces at good prices.  

Spring Pottery SaleFriday, May 3, 8 a.m.–5 p.m.
Gordon Hartlieb Hall, Room 108
Come shop for pottery made by UAA students and faculty. Arrive early for the best selection! Cash, card and check accepted. Parking on campus is free on Fridays.



The picture is from a 2012 sale.  This is one of the more mundane table of pottery for sale.  You can see some of the more unusual stuff at this post I did of the sale in 2012.

And looking ahead to another Bookstore event next week.

Thursday, May 9 from 3:30 pm-5:30 pm at the UAA Campus Bookstore
Language in Focus: A Celebration of Languages
In spring 2019, the UAA Department of Languages held its first Language in Focus ePortfiolio Contest.   Juniors and seniors from ASD high schools discussed the importance of language and culture study and shared their experiences in language learning. At this event, awards will be given to Language in Focus ePortfiolio Contestwinners and, in an open mic format, all attendees are encouraged to express their views on language study.
Please join us at this spring celebration of languages!   The event is co-sponsored by UAA Department of Languages, Academic Innovations and eLearning, and UAA Campus Bookstore.
