Book Tour Suspended for Gardeners of the Universe
Due to concerns over the spread of Covid-19, the difficult decision has been made to suspend former Honeywell executive Ronald E. Peterson's book tour for his sci-fi thriller, Gardeners of the Universe.
Events that had been planned at the Barnes and Noble - Calhoun Village Shopping Center in Minneapolis, Barnes and Noble - Roseville, and Next Chapter Booksellers in St. Paul in March and April will be rescheduled at a later date. Fortunately, Peterson was able to appear at the Barnes and Noble in Minnetonka, Minn. (March 7) and the Barnes and Noble - Woodbury (March 14) before the tour had to be suspended.
Gardeners of the Universe begins in the not too distant future with the births of three children destined to change the world. Rianne grows up to lead biological revolutions. Dan creates sentient computers and guides the direction of human evolution. Sarah, in an age of information dissonance, becomes the most trusted individual on Earth, and convinces the world that it must change. What sets the three apart from the rest of humanity are genetics and “gifts” that were no accident.
The book shows how the children and their totally different families adapt to disruptive new technologies in transportation, medicine, communication, as well as global catastrophe. The focus is on how people will change themselves, through mechanical devices, augmented intelligence, and ultimately altering our genetics, and how these shifts will affect real people.

Latest Sigma's Bookshelf Book May Have Predicted What Will Become a Sign of the Times
Looking for a good book for a teen? Tiffany Lonetto's latest title, My Adventure, would be a good pick. In it she may have unknowingly predicted what could become a sign of the times.
My Adventure, currently available for purchase on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com, is the story of a young girl whose parents are germaphobes. So much so that she has spent her entire life locked up in her house, never able to feel the grass under her feet or interact with people outside her family. But one day she gets up the nerve to open her window, and that’s when the adventure begins.
My Adventure was published earlier this year by Sigma's Bookshelf, what is believed to be the first and only traditional book publishing company that exclusively publishes the work of teen authors. Learn more about the company at Sigmasbookshelf.com.
