We’re so excited to welcome sci-fi thriller author Teague Bohlen to the shop for a book signing to celebrate the release of Escaping Denver, an original novel based on the hit podcast of the same name -- out 8/5/25!
Join us on Saturday, October 11th from 10am-12pm to meet the author and purchase a signed copy of this action-packed sci-fi thriller that takes place in the conspiracy-laden depths of the Denver airport.
Limited copies of Escaping Denver will be available at the book signing but pre-orders are highly encouraged! To pre-order, head to this link: https://bobzbay.square.site/product/escdenver/VU4RXKFIGTJ3XYWH7MEAIH5J
About Escaping Denver:
For internet sleuths, nothing beats a firsthand account--especially when it's your own. Desperate for tangible evidence of a shadow government, monstrous creatures, and a laboratory complex built deep beneath the Denver International Airport, Jessica wrangles a gaggle of like-minded armchair adventurers to break into the facility, seeking not only validation but vindication too.
Using the Escaping Denver podcast as a loose guide, this ragtag team discovers that it's not breaking in that's hard--it's getting out.
About Teague Bohlen:
Teague von Bohlen is an Associate Professor of Fiction at the University of Colorado Denver, where he runs the student newspaper The Sentry and serves as Fiction Editor for the literary magazine Copper Nickel. He works the literary, pop-culture, and social/political commentary beats for the alt-weekly Westword, and his short fiction has been seen nationwide. His first novel, The Pull of the Earth, won the Colorado Book Award, and he’s the co-author of the student-strategy textbook The Snarktastic Guide to College Success. His first collection of stories, a flash fiction/photography mash-up called Flatland, was named a finalist for the Colorado Book Award in 2020. He’s currently shopping a completed ghost-story novel called The Normal Home, also set in the Midwest heartland, working on an ultra-nerdy LitRPG book with an old friend, and has started his next literary novel as well, this one set in both Tucson and Denver.
He makes a home in Colorado now, and grew an abiding love for the desert in his time in Arizona. But his corn-fed heart never left Illinois.
