Diesel, A Bookstore in Oakland is excited to present a publication party for local author Skip Horack in celebration of his novel, The Eden Hunter. Inspired by actual historical events occurring after the turn of the nineteenth century, it's the amazing story of a man's journey into the turbulent forces of a torn and fragmented America.

Skip Horack is the author of the story collection The Southern Cross, which has been shortlisted for the Saroyan Prize, California Book Award, and SIBA Book Award. He is a Jones Lecturer in Fiction at Stanford, and was also a Wallace Stegner Fellow. He practiced law for five years in Louisiana and now lives in Burlingame, California.
