2:00 p.m. Blue Lake Library, Local Author Richard Platz Reads from New Book2018-07-14T14:00:00Local author Richard Platz reads from Bristlecone, his most recent novel, and signs copies of his books. He says "For over forty years I’ve lived and worked in Blue Lake, CA, near the western terminus of Highway 299. But ever since I first gazed down from the crest of the South Warner Wilderness on a backpacking trip and beheld the Surprise Valley, my secret fascination has been with the eastern end of that lonely highway. The vision has churned inside my mind for a quarter century, but now has been released. My most recent novel, entitled Bristlecone, is set in this fragile narrow sliver of land caught between the snow-capped Warners and the jackrabbit and greasewood wasteland of Nevada’s basin and range. It asks the question 'What if your freedom to travel were taken away?'
