BOOK SIGNING: MOTO-AUTHOR EXTRAVAGANZA!
Jack Lewis
Born in Portland, Oregon in 1964, Jack Lewis is a middle-aged curmudgeon of catholic writing proclivities. He wears thick glasses, drinks Ardbeg if you're buying, owns three motorcycles and a chainsaw, and prefers slip-on shoes.
Currently holding down the Seattle Desk for Motorcyclist magazine, Jack has posted riding dispatches from Alaska, Australia, Indiana, California, Idaho, Italy, Oregon, Montana, Washington, and Israel.
Editorial writing earlier in Jack's career resulted in the D.B. Houston Journalism Prize, SPJ Editorial Writing honors, Best of the Palouse citation, and WSU Philosophy Club Gadfly of the Year.
More recently, Jack has contributed stories to Operation Homecoming: Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Home Front, in the Words of United States Troops and Their Families (Random House 2006) and to The Devil Can Ride: The World's Best Motorcycle Writing (Motorbooks 2010).
Operation Homecoming became a Washington Post Book of the Year and formed the foundation for two documentary feature films, one of which was nominated for an Academy Award and subsequently won two Emmy awards out of three nominations.

David Preston
Northwest Author Publishes 7th book: Triathlon Ride
Bothell resident David Preston has just published his 7th book as an Amazon e-reader. Triathlon Ride is the 3rd novel in his "Harrison Thomas" mystery series.
Over a dozen years ago Preston wrote Motorcycle 101, a light-hearted guide to motorcycling for those new to or returning to motorcycles. Originally written for his son, Preston's book sold 1,000 copies and is now out of print. Motorcyclists asked for a revised and updated version of the book, and he responded with Motorcycle 201, an extensively revised e-book edition with added sections.
He later published two collections of essays that deal with motorcycles and high performance cars, titled Motorcycle Heart, Theory, and Practice and No Corner Left Unturned.
With some success from these books, he dug out a teen romance and mystery novel he wrote back in the 1980's during his first career as a junior high teacher. The Third Marcia had never received any serious attempts to find a publisher. "I think at that time," he explained, "I was more interested in seeing if I could actually create a novel." The rise of self-publishing through Amazon removed that hurdle, and The Third Marcia became his fourth e-reader book.
