Midway lights stay blazing with Oaks Park thrill rides, a haunted vendor market, coffin-ride “Buried Alive,” food, bars, and roaming monsters—all covered by one grounds pass. 1,000-plus five-star reviews can’t all be wrong.

In this atmospheric and bewitching novel, Louisa Morgan reimagines the story of Morgan Le Fay, one of the most enigmatic and powerful women in Arthurian legend.

To the other priestesses of the Nine, a powerful council at the Lady’s Temple, Morgana is haughty and arrogant as she performs feats of magic no human should be capable of. Rumors start that she must be a fearsome fae.
To King Arthur, Morgana is a trusted and devoted advisor, but his court is wary of her and her prodigious talent at divination. But his wife sees Morgana as a rival and a malevolent witch.
Morgana doesn’t know why she’s so different from everyone else, and she doesn’t much care. But when she aids Arthur to ascend the throne before his time, she sets off a series of events that will change everything Morgana believes about her power.

Louisa Morgan now lives and writes and rambles with her Border Terrier in beautiful, friendly southwest Oregon. A musician and a yogini, she finds time to teach writing workshops here and there and she loves visiting bookstores and book clubs.

She has also written other popular novels: The Age of Witches, A Secret History of Witches, and The Great Witch of Brittany among others.

Oak ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest are among the most biodiverse of their kind. These groves support hundreds of plant and animal species that depend on them for denning habitat and sustenance. But due to threats including conifer crowding oaks, climate and extreme fire, and conversion to other land use, oak ecosystems are in trouble. Did you know that some estimates suggest we’ve lost 50% or more of our historic oak ecosystems?

Two mesas rising 800 feet above the Rogue Valley floor—Upper and Lower Table Rock—hold thousands of acres of this vital and threatened habitat. Due to their steep and rugged slopes, the Table Rocks preserve unique examples of our region’s diverse oak ecosystems. Since time immemorial, Indigenous peoples of this valley stewarded these special places with controlled fire as a tool to care for oak ecosystems.

To continue this legacy of stewardship, partners of the Klamath Siskiyou Oak Network conduct oak restoration and research at the Table Rocks. After decades of collaborative work, over 1,000 acres of oak groves and savanna have been restored!

The Klamath Siskiyou Oak Network invites you to join local oak experts at the Table Rocks for a free educational hike. Come learn about the ecocultural history of this landscape, explore past and current restoration efforts, and discover the benefits of prescribed fire in oak ecosystems. You’ll also hear about other oak restoration projects happening throughout the Rogue River Valley and the importance of conserving this precious ecosystem.
