Author Talk:

Join us at the Gunnison Library at 6pm on Thursday, February 12, for an author talk with local writer C. William Langsfeld. In his new book Salvation, local author C. William Langsfeld explores an emotionally charged Western noir set in a small rural Colorado town locked in winter and crisis. After Tom Horak murders his best friend and retreats to a remote cabin, a pastor facing a crisis of faith, a peace officer nearing retirement, and a newly orphaned boy are drawn into the aftermath of violence and loss. As a murder investigation unfolds, the novel asks what a community owes its own and whether redemption is possible, all set against the stark beauty of the Rocky Mountain West. “In LangsfeldÕs debut, we find a gut-punch of a novel that explores exactly what the title presents: salvation. In a complicated and dark world, redemption is forged by carving our own path, seeking our own justice. With a voice all its own, this novel is gracefully written and also extraordinarily riveting. One of those books you canÕt put downÑand youÕre a bit sad when it ends.” ÑLaura Pritchett, author of Stars Go Blue This event is free and open to the public.
