New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author Jason Mott lives in southeastern North Carolina. He has a BFA in Fiction and an MFA in Poetry, both from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. His poetry and fiction have appeared in various literary journals. He was nominated for a 2009 Pushcart Prize award and Entertainment Weekly listed him as one of their 10 “New Hollywood: Next Wave” people to watch.

He is the author of two poetry collections: We Call This Thing Between Us Love and “…hide behind me…” He is the author of three novels: The Returned, The Wonder of All Things, and The Crossing.

The Returned, Jason’s debut novel, was adapted by Brad Pitt’s production company, Plan B, in association with Brillstein Entertainment and ABC. It aired on the ABC network under the title “Resurrection.”

Jason’s fourth novel, Hell Of A Book, was released in the summer of 2021, and received the 2021 National Book Award for fiction. It’s a story that goes to the heart of racism, police violence, and the hidden costs exacted upon Black Americans, and America as a whole.

Sean Goode is a nonprofit leader who is driven by his mantra, “possibilities over problems," which was born out of his lived experience growing up in overwhelmingly challenging circumstances. Through his stewardship of the nationally recognized nonprofit, CHOOSE 180, he has worked to decriminalize youthful behavior and transform the systems that have historically harmed marginalized communities.

The Transgender Law Center (TLC) changes law, policy, and attitudes so that all people can live safely, authentically, and free from discrimination regardless of their gender identity or expression. TLC is the largest national trans-led organization advocating for a world in which all people are free to define themselves and their futures.

In light of the unprecedented wave of state legislation targeting LGTBQ+ Americans across the United States, Third Place Books decided to donate 20% of all sales on Saturday, April 2, 2022 to the Transgender Law Center.

Customers responded and on April 7, Third Place Books wrote a check for $10,300 to the TLC.

This past Saturday, ALL OF YOU helped raise a little over 10,000 for the Transgender Law Center.  
THANK YOU to all our amazing customers for coming in and ordering online. 
We seriously could not have done this without you. 
Let's keep loving and protecting each other. đź’—

Third Place Books to donate sales on Saturday April 2nd to Transgender Law Center

Saturday, April 2, 2022

In light of the unprecedented wave of state legislation targeting LGTBQ+ Americans across the United States, Third Place Books will donate 20% of all sales on Saturday, April 2, 2022 to the Transgender Law Center.

In addition to this fundraiser, Third Place Books will donate a wish list of books to the Seattle Children's Gender Clinic.

The Transgender Law Center (TLC) changes law, policy, and attitudes so that all people can live safely, authentically, and free from discrimination regardless of their gender identity or expression. TLC is the largest national trans-led organization advocating for a world in which all people are free to define themselves and their futures.

After having conversations with customers and community members about the alarming number of proposed bills that would limit the rights of transgender and nonbinary youths, a group of Third Place Books booksellers came together to plan a company-wide fundraiser.

“As booksellers, curating displays and social media posts featuring LGBTQ+ authors are a start to raising awareness, but providing substantial support for the people affected by these attacks is also incredibly important,” says Sarah Canon, E-Commerce and Fulfillment Manager at Third Place Books.

The store is located on the upper level of Town Center, intersection of Ballinger and Bothell Way NE, Lake Forest Park. Shop in person, call in your order to 206-366-3333, or buy through the website https://www.thirdplacebooks.com

Any remaining prints will be available at Kira's in-person signing on Sunday, August 29th at the Lake Forest Park Farmers Market, 12-2pm.

About the new book

With FERAL CREATURES, Kira continues the adventures of S.T., the foulmouthed crowtagonist, in an even funnier, scarier cautionary tale of humankind’s impact on the fragility of the natural world.

From the wilds of Alaska to the outskirts of Seattle, FERAL CREATURES finds S.T. in an epic battle between the animal kingdom and a new mutant threat, all while protecting Dee, the last human on Earth. 

In this stunning follow-up to HOLLOW KINGDOM, the animal kingdom's "favorite apocalyptic hero" is back with a renewed sense of hope for humanity, ready to take on a world ravaged by a viral pandemic.

When the world last checked-in with its favorite Cheeto addict, the planet had been overrun by flesh-hungry beasts, and nature had started re-claiming her territory from humankind. 

S.T., the intrepid crow, alongside his bloodhound-bestie Dennis, had set about saving pets that had become trapped in their homes after humanity went the way of the dodo. 

That is, until S.T. stumbled upon something so rare—and so precious—that he vowed to do everything in his power to safeguard what could, quite literally, be humanity's last hope for survival.

But in a wild world plagued by prejudiced animals, feather-raising environments, new threats so terrifying they make zombies look like baby bunnies, and a horrendous dearth of cheesy snacks, what's a crow to do? 

Why, wing it on another big-hearted, death-defying adventure, that's what! Joined by a fabulous new cast of animal characters, S.T. faces many new challenges plus his biggest one yet: parenthood.
