Come join us to meet local author Edward Ashton and hear about his new book, Mickey7, a high concept sci-fi thriller which has been described as Andy Weir's The Martian meets Blake Crouch's Dark Matter. Mickey7 is being adapted into a movie by none other than Parasite director, Bong Joon-Ho, with Robert Pattinson starring as the titular character. If you want to read the book ahead of time, you can find copies at the library here, or check and see if it's available on our 7-day loans shelf next time you're in!

About the author: Edward Ashton is the author of the novels Mickey7, Three Days in April and The End of Ordinary. His short fiction has appeared in venues ranging from the newsletter of an Italian sausage company to Escape Pod, Analog, and Fireside Fiction. He lives in upstate New York in a cabin in the woods (not that Cabin in the Woods) with his wife, a variable number of daughters, and an adorably mopey dog named Max, where he writes—mostly fiction, occasionally fact—under the watchful eyes of a giant woodpecker and a rotating cast of barred owls. In his free time, he enjoys cancer research, teaching quantum physics to sullen graduate students, and whittling. You can find him on Twitter @edashtonwriting or visit his website here.
