Southern Festival of Books

Wooooo hooooo!!!! Back in the spring, my local authors and I applied to the prestigious Southern Festival of Books for a slot in their author presentations. The festival runs from Friday, October 8 through Sunday, October 10, during which there will be a wide variety of books for sale at the booths of a multitude of publishers, including Sheaf House this year, plus author presentations and panel discussions. It all takes place at War Memorial Plaza in downtown Nashville.

Well, two of us were chosen, one of them being moi! And best of all, I’ve been chosen to do a solo presentation on Wind of the Spirit, with a book signing to follow! The presentation takes place on Friday, October 8, from at noon to 1 p.m. at the Capitol Library. My talk is subtitled Recreating the American Revolution, and I plan to talk about how I’m researching and writing this series.

This is a pretty big coup and hopefully will bring more attention to this series. Needless to say, in addition to being terrified, I’m really excited. I ordered special postcards shown here, which will have info about the American Patriot Series on the back, to hand out to attendees. I’m working on a PowerPoint presentation that I hope will engage the audience and make the subject interactive and fun.

So if you’re in the Nashville area this weekend, please stop by the Sheaf House booth. And plan to join me for my presentation on Friday to talk about the Revolution and the great values this country was founded on.
