Join us for a reading and discussion with Arkansas author Ty Carlson.

Science fiction isn't always about distant worlds. Sometimes it's about seeing our own world differently. Join Arkansas author Ty Carlson for an author signing featuring his newest sci-fi novel Eden Vertex, the first in his new space opera trilogy Dominus. Visit with Ty about writing, imagination, faith, hope, and the big questions that inspire his novels. All of his previous books along with copies of his new release will be available for purchase and signing, and readers of all ages are invited to stop by and say hello. 

Ty Carlson is a sci-fi writer who delights in the unseen strangeness and wonder of “what if.” Growing up in the Ozarks of Arkansas gave him and his three siblings plenty of room to play knights and dragons or jungle explorers, igniting his imagination early on. Ty started writing at a very young age and his passion has only grown over time. He loved to read so much that he once was grounded from reading, a fact that his brothers tease him about to this day. He hopes readers discover new ways to see the world through the perspectives offered in the stories he tells.
