Book Table Today

I'm at a book table today. Bunch of us local (south central Kansas) authors will be selling our wares (or words) and doing some readings. Should be fun!

This particular author event is hosted by “At the Market” at Central and West St, Wichita. 

It’s today, Saturday, Dec 11, from 10 AM to 4 PM. Free and open to the public. Come on down if you're close by.

“Meet the brains behind the books,” the host invites. I like that! 

There are quite a few writers in Kansas, and in the Wichita area as well. Mostly indie published but some traditional and hybrid. A lot of genres represented. Wichita has even produced a recent Newbery winner, Clare Vanderpool.

A number of Kansas writing groups, too. But one group a few friends and I started a couple of years ago is on Facebook. Indie Writers of Kansas, Etc. That's the page if you're an area writer and want to join.

I like book tables and author events. There's always new books and writers to discover. I get their signatures, of course, and enjoy the author readings. Plus, the December timing is right for this one. Need a holiday gift idea? Er…books!

What I like about “At the Market” is their mission. It’s to “provide a platform that facilitate business growth for entrepreneurs through connections, encouragement, empowerment, and inspiration while utilizing our programming, trainings, community resources, and retail showroom opportunities.”

They host Business Mixers, Wellness Fairs, Art Crawls, Empowerment Classes, Holiday Open Houses, etc., and focus a lot on opportunities to empower women and minority business owners. Cool stuff.

So that’s the plan for today. Come on out and enjoy meeting some local talent, interact with interesting people, and pick up a few stocking stuffers for loved ones this holiday season!

December Book Table Events

Dang, I probably won't be able to attend this year's AirCapital Comic Con at Century II in Wichita this Saturday. We'll be crewing for our daughter and son-in-law's 6 hour run! Hello! And then I have a gig with Perry, Martin & Friends at the Kechi Tap House that evening. Busy day.

But I shouldn’t complain. My son-in-law, Jacob Aybara, will be at Air Cap – after his marathon!! He’ll be selling his artwork and prints. So drop by his table and make sure his legs aren’t cramping!

Now, later in December, I will be at two author events. I’ll have a book table with my whole collection! My order just came in: Ma Tutt, Cat Potion, Sword of Otrim; and other books, too.

So check out these fun events and mark your calendars, please. Would love to see you at either or both book signings. Here’s the info:

The first one is Friday, Dec 3, 4 to 9 PM, at SunflowerPlaza on Gilbert St, Wichita. It’s only $3 and includes author swag and a goodie bag! The small donation helps pay for the venue, so that’s cool.

It’s hosted by “Writers of the Wheat,” which keeps the long history of heartland story telling alive by sponsoring writing festivals, author readings, book signings, etc.

The second author event I’ll be attending is hosted by “Atthe Market” on West St, Wichita. It’s Saturday, Dec 11, from 10 AM to 4 PM. Free and open to the public.

“Meet the brains behind the books,” the host invites. I like that! Lots of local writers, new books to discover. Book signings, of course, and a schedule of author readings. Need a holiday gift idea? Um…books! lol

What I like about “At the Market” is their mission. It’s to “provide a platform that facilitate business growth for entrepreneurs through connections, encouragement, empowerment, and inspiration while utilizing our programming, trainings, community resources, and retail showroom opportunities.”
