If you live in Chicagoland, you’ll have several chances to meet our Eckhartz Press authors in June.
*In fact, you can meet them all in one night, if you come out to “The Chicago Way” at the Hidden Shamrock (2723 N. Halsted) in Chicago on June 3rd, from 7-8:30pm. The Chicago Way literary series launches the newest title from Eckhartz Press, “Cheeseland” by Randy Richardson. Joining this special Eckhartz Press Night celebration for readings and discussion will be Eckhartz authors Kim Strickland (“Down at the Golden Coin”), and Rick Kaempfer and Brendan Sullivan (“The Living Wills”). All authors will have books available for sale.
*If you’re going to the Printer’s Row Lit Fest on June 9th, you’ll have a chance to meet “Down at the Golden Coin” author Kim Strickland. She’ll be selling and autographing copies of her book. Look for her in the Society of Midland Authors tent from 2-4pm.
*That same day (June 9), “Cheeseland” author Randy Richardson will be appearing at Barnes & Noble in Woodfield Plaza Shopping Center, 590 East Golf Road in Schaumburg, from 1-3pm.
*On June 10th, Randy will be manning the Chicago Writer’s Association booth at the Printer’s Row Lit Fest.
*For our south side friends, Kim Strickland will be at the Beverly Arts Center for a special evening on June 14th. “Author Afternoons” host Penny Golden is convening a special Thursday night version of her book chats for Kim. Come one, come all.
*On June 23rd, Randy Richardson will be at the Glen Ellyn Book Fest. He’ll be doing a breakfast talk at the Glen Ellyn Public Library (8am), and then move over to the author tent on Duane Street (a block east of the library) from 10-1.
Remember Chicagoans, the Eckhartz Press stable is also available to appear at your book club. “The Living Wills” co-author Brendan Sullivan (photo) has been appearing at many of them over the past few weeks, as has his co-author Rick Kaempfer. “The Living Wills” has led to lively discussions all over town. Kim’s and Randy’s novels are sure to do the same. If you’d like to book any of them to appear at your book club party (schedule permitting) for free, e-mail rick@eckhartzpress.com.
