The Well-Read Moose bookstore in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, hosted Chris Whitaker (l.) for the paperback release of his thriller All the Colors of the Dark (Crown). The event took place at the Vantage Point Brewing Co. and had more than 125 attendees. The bookstore's Liz Burkwist reported, "The audience listened raptly as Chris shared stories of trauma and explained how those experiences influenced his writing and how his writing helped him heal. This event can only be described as lightning in a bottle; it was the perfect author, the perfect venue, the perfect emcee (Mike Kennedy, beloved local business leader and gifted conversationalist), and most importantly, the perfect guests. The atmosphere was charged with enthusiasm and the audience was absolutely charmed by Chris."
