“Journey to Rhyolite” is Bartholomew's fourth book.
The book focuses on Nathaniel, who makes a journey to Rhyolite, “the greatest boom town in the west.”
Nathaniel hopes to make his fortune, be reunited with his love, Annabelle, and find the man he murdered back in Baltimore.
Bartholomew lived in big cities such as New York and San Francisco before settling down in Lake County, where he's putting his interesting life experiences to work as an author.
“He has discovered that the most fantastic tales are the ones that really happened,” a biographical note at www.smashwords.com/profile/view/Bart explains.
Ancient artifacts are one of his interests, and he has published several articles on the subject, according to his biography. In addition to writing fiction he studies petroglyphs and local history.
Wild About Books is located at 14290 Olympic Drive, Clearlake, telephone 707-994-9453.

UPPER LAKE – On June 18 Lynne and Bernie Butcher, owners of the Tallman Hotel on Main Street in Upper Lake, presented Soper Reese Fundraising Chairman Nina Marino with a generous donation representing 10 percent of the proceeds earned from their successful 2009 “Concerts with Conversation” series.
The concerts run on the last Friday of the month from January to May.
Following a wine and small plate reception in the Hotel dining room, local and regional musicians entertain guests in Riffe’s Meeting House next door.
This year’s performers included pianists Spencer Brewer and Wendy DeWitt, guitarist Alex DeGrassi, stick player Bob Culbertson and the Lake Wind Ensemble.
These concerts present the audience with the opportunity to engage in informal conversation with the artists about their music.
This is the third year that the Butchers have generously supported the theater with proceeds from their concert series.
