North Coast Indie Author & Book Fair 2 Months Away

We're expecting 24 Washington and Oregon authors to join us for the second annual Indie Author & Book Fair on April 10, 2016. Eighteen of the twenty-four author spots have been reserved (we still have room for eight authors and expect the spots to fill quickly*).

The event follows directly on the heels of the Get Lit at the Beach event and creates a nice ending for the the weekend. To learn more about Get Lit click here.

Get Lit at the Beach is within Reach

Plan now if you want to take it in an entire weekend with great authors to learn from while enjoying books and the beach.

Follow the Get Lit Facebook page to stay informed. Book early (especially your lodging)'

AND plan to attend the Indie Author & Book Fair directly following the last session of Get Lit. 


There will be another 24 local (Washington and Oregon) authors on hand to sell and sign their books.

ZOMBIES Will Be Having Fun at the Library Saturday

Halloween they'll be seen at the Cannon Beach Library. Fun for all ages (eight and up) will be had at the ZOMBIE FEAST...uh, I'm mean, ZOMBIE FEST, October 31, 2015 from 1 to 3 p.m.

The event opens with icebreaker games and features me (author Gregory E. Zschomler). I'll be reading from my books The Amish vs. the Zombies and Voodoo Virus. And sharing zombie poems and songs, plus giving a zombie makeup demonstration (in which I'll be using items easily found around the house).

Plus they'll be games and treats and prizes! I'll have my books available for purchase.

The Bayou Boys Adventure series (pictured at right) will be on sale as a set of three for the special Holiday Pricing of $20.>

SPECIAL FEATURE: During the makeup demonstration I'll answer frequently asked questions and answering other questions from the audience. Questions about the "writer's life," publishing, makeup, and (most importantly) "why zombies?"

FREE MAKEUP TIP HERE.
