Race Relations » Local Author Book Signing, August 29
YELAPA AUTHOR, ROBERT HARDIN, TO SIGN NEW NOVEL
Yelapa author Robert Hardin announces a book signing of Race Relations, the latest novel in his popular David Armstrong series.

The event will be held at Café Roma in Puerto Vallarta from two to five p.m. on Saturday, August 29th. Café Roma fronts the Rio Cuale at 287 Encino just a few doors west of the municipal flea market.
In Race Relations, criminal attorney David Armstrong returns from an involuntary two year hiatus from practicing law and takes on the defense of a white Los Angeles police officer who is being retried after an appeals court reversed his conviction for murdering an unarmed teenaged black gang member.
In David’s first interview with the officer he asks him why he shot the teenager fourteen times and the officer says, “Because my Glock only held fourteen bullets.”
The case causes a conflict with David’s long-time lover, Felicia Bates-Baxter, California’s senior U.S. Senator, who publicly accused the police officer of being a brutal and racist cop during the first trial. David also has to contend with county prosecutors so hell-bent on sending the officer back to prison they flagrantly violate his constitutional rights. Like all the David Armstrong novels, the drama is played out in the courtroom.
Former northern California residents Robert Hardin and his wife, Kathryn, along with their two black cats, live year round in a beach house in Yelapa, a small village south of Puerto Vallarta and accessible only by boat. Race Relations is Hardin’s fifth novel since moving to Yelapa in January 2005.
All of Hardin’s books, including Race Relations, are available at amazon.com, Barnes & Nobles, and other bookstores in the U.S. and Canada. And they are available in Puerto Vallarta at NV Bookstore in the Paradise Plaza Shopping Center north of the city, at A Page in the Sun at 399 Olas Altas, and at Biblioteca Los Mangos at 1001 Avenue Francisco Villa.
Anyone wishing to know more about the author may access his author page on amazon.com or email him at croberthardin (at) gmail.com.

The Forgotten Village, John Steinbeck, the 1941 Classic Movie
The Forgotten Village, 1941, written by John Steinbeck.
The Forgotten Village in this powerful 1 hour, 6 minute documentary is an imaginary poverty-stricken community in the Central Mexico high plateau. This film is a rare glimpse into the customs and daily life of 1930s rural Mexico. In stark detail, The Forgotten Village is a record of the life-cycle and struggles of a typical peasant family, from birth to death, in facing the approach of modern life. The narration and screen play for The Forgotten Village was written by novelist John Steinbeck.
