It’s all about the ladies this coming week at Between the Covers Bookstore and High Alpine Coffee Bar. Line ‘em up like beautiful literary cocktails and sip, one at a time … Starting Wednesday, three authors grace our space this week: Jill Burchmore, Erzsebet Gilbert,...
Technology has changed the way humans perceive and communicate with the world, but it’s also possible -- at the most basic level -- it has altered the way we think...
Bliss Except When It Is Not We took a ride in a one horse open sleigh today, and I was one horse and the red sled was the open sleigh and the kids laughed and reeled as we trudged through the field and searched for the perfect Christmas tree, which was not hard to find. The noon sun, it caught in...
the truth enters the room like a cold cold breeze— sometimes we’re ready for a break from the heat, sometimes it’s just so cold * it’s not as if we can make ourselves fall in love with the world, but I’ve noticed that when I look up it’s more likely * it is after all the longest night and even though tomorrow it’s only one more minute of light it is one more minute * I have been praying for openings, and behind every door that...
When Shepherds keeping watch, saw a great sight As a child I was versed in stories of Wise Men whose learning of stars and planets revealed a great child would be born. These early stories taught that learning the night sky could lead to knowledge and...
My father led me into the hills one Sunday in December more than 35 years ago. I carried the saw; he carried the axe. We trudged through the snow, hunting the wild Christmas tree. He checked each tree for fullness and height, trying to picture it...
Telluride local Bob Rubadeau is at it again. Well, not Rubadeau exactly. His on-page persona Wit Thorpe, up to his old tricks with a colorful assortment of victims dropping like stale jokes as the haunted private eye faces yet another classic who-dun-it caper exploding onto...

It was a slam dunk whenever part-time Telluride local Frank Cicero stood in front of a courtroom. A senior partner since the 1970s at the prestigious Chicago law firm of Kirkland & Ellis and a trial and an appellate lawyer, Cicero's list of wins in a wide variety of civil and criminal cases in courts at all levels all over the world is mighty impressive.
The reason for his history of legal triumphs becomes apparent when you read Cicero's very first book, Relative Strangers: Italian Protestants in the Catholic World (2011). The guy clearly does his homework and he knows how to spin a compelling yarn.
Frank Cicero is in town for a book signing of "Relative Strangers" at Telluride's Between the Covers. The very social,very casual book launch party takes place Saturday, August 6, 6:30 p.m. (Simple refreshments included.) On the bill with Frank is Mt. Evans, Colorado-based photographer Bill Hitz, breaking out his coffee table photography book showcasing the Four Corners, Roads Less Traveled. Its forward was written by General Schwarzkopf, who said "You're photos are like a spirit... They speak to me." (http://www.mtevansphotography.com/Home.php)
