Hello Readers!
I’ll be selling books next Saturday at the fourth annual Better Off Read Summer Book Festival in Lewiston, NY! This is a free, one-day event at Artpartk State Park from 11 AM to 6 PM! I’ll be in the vendor area, selling copies of The Mountain’s Shadow and The City: A Story in 140 Characters. There will also be a whole slew of other local artists and writers, a used book fair, food trucks, and more!
If you haven’t been there, you should also check out the numerous outdoor exhibits in the park along with the gorgeous hiking trails along the Niagara gorge!
You can find out more by visiting the festival website HERE. I hope to see you there, rain or shine, next Saturday!
