A book signing event for the sci-fi book, Anathema, was held at Paws and Claws Bookstore in Indiana on July 17th, 2021. Howe, the town where the bookstore is located, happens to be the author’s hometown. The event was a small gathering consisting mostly of people with whom Rich Yoder (the author) was familiar. A reporter was also present at the bookstore to cover the event. Rich Yoder’s daughter also accompanied her father in the book signing. The bookstore is a volunteer work that donates its earnings to provide shelter for rescued cats and dogs. The author also made a donation for the cause.  Anathema is a moving work of science fiction that stretches across times to expose the vilest of intentions in making destinies. Most of us are not familiar with the workings of these backdoor dark schemes of taking us to what we call the predestined. Rich Yoder, with his sharp power of imagination, has weaved this story so artfully that it appears to be far closer to reality than sci-fi is supposed to be.  Rich has spent most part of his life on the roads and highways, transporting meat and other food products all across the country. He has three daughters, eight grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
