For Immediate Release

 

Reno author Steven Nightingale will read from both the national bestseller The Lost Coast and his newly published sequel The Thirteenth Daughter of the Moon at the Mono Lake Committee Information Center and Bookstore on Friday evening, August 28, 1998 at 6:30 p.m. In the critically acclaimed first novel, Nightingale’s group of amorous, adventurous travelers sets out from a Great Basin watering hole for a remote section of California’s North Coast. But the posse gets only as far as Downieville by the end of The Lost Coast. It is left to the sequel, The Thirteenth Daughter of the Moon," to see the travelers reach their destination. "The discoveries made by these characters are discoveries, for the most part, of love, of the varieties of love available to them which are broader and deeper than they thought possible," Nightingale says. "It’s not just love of other people, though that is key and in some ways it’s love of land and love of that beautiful order, that internal harmony to the world, which somehow they begin to have a sense of."
