Here's a look at the press release I sent out for next Wednesday's author appearance; feel free to send it to your own newspaper, radio station, or TV station, and by your own I mean if you own it, I'm free for interviews. If you own several, I'm free for syndication. And if you run a blog that features writers, I'm just free. The books aren't free ... but they're cheap, just like me.
A husband and wife
writing team are coming to the Noble County Public Library’s main branch in
Albion this November, to help introduce their newest book.
Mark R. Hunter and Emily
Hunter will be at the library in Albion Wednesday, November 16, from 3-7 p.m.
They spent almost two years roaming Indiana to produce Hoosier Hysterical:
How the West Became the Midwest Without Moving at All. Written to celebrate Indiana’s
bicentennial, the tongue-in-cheek book pokes fun at Hoosier History and trivia.
Although
Mark did most of the writing and got his name on the cover, he insists his wife
did most of the work: Emily designed the cover, formatted and edited the book,
traveled around the state with him on research missions, then edited and added photos
they took along the way.
Despite
all the research, the Hunters say the book is mainly for fun or, as they put it
in the forward, “So sit back and learn something fun about history. When
you’re done, read this book.”
The pair previously
collaborated on two local history books: Images
of America: Albion and Noble County, and Smoky Days and Sleepless
Nights: A Century or So With the Albion Fire Department. They also put
together a collection of Mark’s humor columns, Slightly Off the Mark.
Mark is also a humor columnist and the author of three novels: Storm Chaser, The Notorious Ian Grant, and The
No-Campfire Girls, as well as the story collection Storm Chaser Shorts. All of their printed works will be available
at the appearance.

ReplyDeleteI need all the help I can get!
DeleteQuite the blurb! Much luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm getting concerned that there won't be much turnout, but I'll keep plugging away at it.
