Galveston Bookshop is located Downtown Galveston at 317 23rd Street, Galveston. For more info call (409)750-8200 or go to galvestonbookshop.com.

Galveston Bookshop will host a book signing for author Whitney Vandiver with her new historical novel of Galveston.

The setting is Galveston in 1900. A year of training in the Signal Corps did nothing to prepare Alfred Ridgeway for his new post with the U.S. Weather Bureau on the edge of the Texas gulf. Alfred finds himself thrust into the strained relationship of renowned climatologist Isaac Cline and his assisting brother, Joseph. With rising tensions in the office, Alfred begins to expand life beyond his duties at the bureau and soon meets the extraordinary Florence Keller. As the summer heats up, the bureau cuts ties with a valuable source of information, leaving the Galveston Weather Office blind during the peak of hurricane season. When a telegram warns of a storm in the gulf, Alfred will have to choose between following protocol or trusting his instincts.

Whitney Vandiver is an avid reader who wrote her first story when she was eight years old. She is now a bibliophile, with more books than shelves, who writes historical fiction and mysteries. She resides in Pearland, Texas with her spouse and cat.

Join us for ArtWalk as we feature the sculptural work of Galveston artist, Nikki Thompson.

‘This latest series relates to the process of finding oneself. The figures relate to the journey I have been on throughout my life and the continuing journey of self discovery. It can often feel like you are naked in front of the world when opening yourself up and that is what I try to capture…the feeling of raw emotion and exposure…the strength that it takes to bare it all to be true to oneself. ‘

*** ArtWalk is a neighborhood event in Galveston’s historic Cultural Arts District where galleries, boutique shops, bars, restaurants, and other local businesses invite patrons for an evening of art, entertainment, and socializing.

Every Thursday 3-6pm and Sunday 9am-12 noon (note new summer hours), Galveston’s Own Farmers Market is held at The Bryan Museum Gardens, located at 1315 21st St. Come to the beautiful Conservatory and botanical gardens to relax and enjoy time and conversation with friends, family, and museum staff while shopping for locally grown produce, prepared foods, and edible farm products, plus live music, yoga, massage, crafting and Kids Corner!
