Katya Cengel Signs at Players Sports Bar

Take a sporting chance on a different event and join Katya Cengel and John Billheimer (and us!) at Players Sports Bar, located across the parking lot in the McGrath shopping center from the bookstore. We will meet for a factual and fictional discussion of America’s pastime, baseball, and maybe a drink or two!

The jacket blurb for Bluegrass Baseball: A Year in the Minor League Life notes: “If you don’t know what cat food and cave shrimp have in common with Kentucky baseball, join Katya on her enlightening and entertaining odyssey with the state’s professional teams.” Katya attended college at UCSD and interned at the San Diego Union-Tribune and has written for multiple magazines and reported from Africa, Haiti, India, the former Soviet Union and the Midwest.

Appearing with Katya will be John Billheimer, author of Field of Schemes. 

John is familiar to mystery fans for his Owen Allison mysteries and to baseball fans for his non-fiction work, Baseball and the Blame Game. John’s two passions come together in his new mystery, Field of Schemes. A sportswriter turns amateur sleuth to help a trainer for a triple-A baseball team falsely accused of providing drugs to a player. You can also see John at Men of Mystery in Irvine on November 17, 2012.
