At a book fair individual authors offer their books for sale (there will be 68 authors there). And since the Florence event also has publishers, each publisher will show the books they have published and try to sign up new authors. [I have a manuscript to pitch.]
The biggest winners are the people who attend—anyone who loves books and reading. Upon entering, all attendees will receive a tote bag to carry their book purchases. Browse among 50-plus authors (including me) as well as several publishers.
What a treat to look at book after book of all different genres, actually meet the person who wrote each book, talk to them, buy a book, and have the author sign it on the spot. Some of these authors will be first timers and others will have numerous books for sale.
Come on down to the beach for the weekend and stop in on this wonderful event. I'll be there and, IF all goes well, I may have the first (pre-release*) copies of my newest and forthcoming book PLAYHOUSE PHANTOM (shhh) as well as the previous two titles in the Bayou Boys Adventure series.
*official release date is October 26, 2013.
