Next Saturday, October 26, Binding Time Cafe & Bookstore in Martinsville, VA, will be holding its semi-annual book festival, featuring a number of local and regional authors. I'll be on hand to sell and sign copies of my books, including The Monarchs, Blue Devil Island, Other Gods, The Gaki, and others. Authors scheduled to appear include Mary Helen Hensley, Lisa Pickeral Chitwood, Gail Hedrick, Graham Gardner, Carol Nolen, Sylvia Pearce, Becky Mushko, Tom Perry, Avis Turner, Stacy and Robert Moody, James Wayland, Melissa Rooney and Camden Campe. The spring festival — the first of these I have attended — had a very good turnout, and I scared lots of unsuspecting patrons. Please come around so that I might do this again. It'll be a fun pre-Halloween fright. For you avid readers who are also geocachers — there are plenty of geocaches in the area to more than make your trip worthwhile.
In addition to promoting and selling books, Binding Time serves great sandwiches, wraps, salads, and coffee. It's located in the Spruce Village Shopping Center at 1115 Spruce Street, Martinsville, VA 24112; www.binding-time.com. The cafe is locally owned and operated; please give it your support.
