In addition
to being available for sale at the Albion New Era office on South Main Street
and from the fire department, Smoky Days
and Sleepless Nights: A Century or So With the Albion Fire Department is
also for sale at the Brick Ark Inn, on North
Orange Street.
The Brick
Ark Inn is a bed and breakfast owned by my high school classmate, Tammy Luce,
and it’s developed a reputation for comfort and hospitality. She agreed to sell
the book there mostly for her guests, but I’m sure anyone could drop by to get
a copy (and try some of the honey for sale there), and to check the place out.
Here’s her website:
Smoky Days is about Albion’s fire
history, and Tammy is set up in an 1880’s brick home just a block from the
Noble County Courthouse Square, which figures prominently in the book. In fact,
her home is next to the former location of the Worden House, which is mentioned
in the book’s opening chapter as the scene of one of Albion’s earliest fire
related injuries. On the same block is the Albion Opera House, which has its
own segment in the book.
Of course,
you can order any of my books from the website at www.markrhunter.com. But if you happen to
be visiting Albion you owe it to yourself to check out the Brick Ark Inn, one
of our jewels run by a jewel of a person.
Sounds and looks like an ideal place!
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's probably one of the most historic places in Albion. And it was once owned by the guy who published Albion's *second* newspaper, many years ago.
DeleteCongrats on selling your book there. I hope it sells well. I'm sure guests will really consider it too. The place is nice. I'd love to stay there sometime.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get a chance to -- it's beautiful, and the owner is a wonderful person.

ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm about due for a luck change.
