So much talent in one room! We were completely blown away by all the authors and the different genres represented. For their first event, we think it was well attended (of course you always hope for more) and very well organized by Nicky Pownall (and staff) at the Tye Preston Memorial Library. Kudos to the library and all the local authors! We felt privileged to have been a part of this great event!

BOOK PRESENTATION TODAY AT THE NEWCOMERS CLUB IN NEW BRAUNFELS, TX - September 5, 2023
About 45 people were in attendance today to listen to our presentation and watch our slideshow of our “in-tents” journey on the Appalachian Trail. It was so much fun to re-live and share our adventure once again. Many great questions were asked.
One of those questions: Will we return to the trail and complete another section?
Yes, we will be returning to the trail to backpack another section (600 miles) May of 2024, God willing. It's been made public - No turning (or looking) back now …
