AUTHOR TALK &
BOOKBINDING DEMONSTRATION
JUNE 13th, 2026
1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
@ Northern Nook Books & Games
501 W McMillan Ave
Newberry, MI 49868
Come listen to me talk about writing books, and making them too, while I make one before your very eyes with my mystifying crafting skills. There will also be live readings, Q&A, and signed copies for sale through a new and independent local bookstore that is worthy of your support and patronage. Sure to be a rollicking, intellectually stimulating good time of with the occasional nugget of wisdom buried beneath offbeat humor and more-than-is-necessary improvisation.
Thanks to Jamie and Jacob for hosting. Look up Northern Nook and follow them on Facebook!
