Several 2010 “notable book” authors, including me, have just been invited by the Kansas Center for the Book to take part in the Iola Family Reading Festival at Allen County Community College on Saturday, September 18th. Sounds like a very cool event for the whole family with …

author talks, book signings, children’s craft activities, exhibits (from such organizations as the Kansas Center for the Book), and appearances by storybook characters.

… as they describe on the festival’s website page. Check it out, HERE.

I’ll post details about specific locations and times when I learn them. The full event is to take place from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM on campus, and for any of you in or near Iola, Kansas (about an hour and a half due south of Lawrence), I’ll be selling and signing books that day on behalf of the Kansas Center for the Book. Stop by, check out the festival, buy a book or two or three, and say hi!

UPDATE (August 28, 2010): I found out this week that my book-signing will be from 2pm-3pm that Saturday, September 18th. You’ll find me at the exhibit sponsored by the Kansas Center for the Book. Hope to see you there!
