With Mark Victor Hansen at Books in the Park

The Books in the Park event at Town Point Park in Norfolk was a super event.

There were over 100 authors in attendance signing their books. A poetry reading was awesome and I got my chance at the microphone too. A highlight was meeting Mark Victor Hansen and his co-writer Robert Allen, authors of Cash in a Flash. Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield were co-creators of the Chicken Soup for the Soul books. I also met Crystal Dwyer, author of Pure Thoughts for Pure Results- How Messy Thinking Can Make or Break Your Life. I bought a book from Joe Tennis, The Marble and Other Ghost Tales. Barnes and Noble is to be commended for putting on a wonderful venue for local authors. (photo of Mark Victor Hansen and myself)

2nd Annual Books in the Park

If you love reading, you can't miss the Second Annual Books in the Park event at Town Point Park in Norfolk on Sunday, September 27 in conjunction with the Sunrise to Sunset Acoustic Music Festival from noon to 6 p.m. Food and drinks will be available for purchase and you can bring lawn chairs for the event. Last year it was great and I have a wonderful time meeting other authors. Of course my pile of books I've purchased has grown to the point that I need another lifetime to read them all! Two of the featured authors are Mark Victor Hansen, co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul books and Robert G. Allen, author of some New York Times best selling finance books. Together they have written a book, Cash in a Flash that is sure to sell well. Go to festevents.org to see who all the authors are. There are nearly 100 in total. Here is the link to the featured poets and other authors. http://festevents.org/mini-site/books-in-the-park/authors-of-poetry-and-music-and-religion-and-inspirational-and-romance See the website for other listed authors.
