Touting her book, ‘Kentucky Folktales: Revealing Stories, Truths, and Outright Lies’, author and storyteller Mary Hamilton will be on hand this Saturday, December 8th, at The Summit Barnes & Noble. Join her at noon for a signing and a spooky reading – just to further the Holiday spirit, of course.
So, downtown was on fire this morning. That’s good.Disembarking from my TARC bus – my glorious morning steed – brought a haze of heather gray at the corner of 5th and Market, spilling out from the building where Vincenzo’s happens to live. This was new. I...

Keith Erekson, the author of ‘Everybody’s History: Indiana’s Lincoln and the Quest to Reclaim a President’s Past’, will present on the little known early years of our country’s greatest president. Rediscover Lincoln with The Filson Historical Society at the Jeffersonville Carnegie Library tomorrow, Thursday, November 29th, at noon.
I feel I would be remiss to cheapen Lincoln with gimmicks. What kind of ridiculous metaphor or pointless rumination can I use to make a slapdash word-painting that only loosely ties into perhaps mildly-serious literary subject matter? There are good contenders today, folks. Oh,...

The retired Alaskan travel guide will sign the new book cataloging his adventures in the Alaskan wilderness. Along with his friend – and sometimes travel companion – Denny Drum, M. Scotty Lamkin will be at The Summit location of Barnes & Noble tonight, Monday, November 19th at 2pm.

There are those among us who simply Do It All. Local literary jack-of-all-trades George Ella Lyon will hit up Carmichael’s Bookstore this Sunday, November 18th at 4pm for a book signing and reading.
I feel pretty absent-minded sometimes. It’s possible you may have noticed that I have a propensity for tangents. I prefer to embrace them when they stroll by – you just don’t know what could befall when you link up arms! But there are some days when it is not so...

It’s about time to wave the white flag isn’t folks? It that just me maybe? It’s just me. Oh well! Join local poet Ellen Birkett Morris as she signs her latest collection, ‘Surrender’, at Carmichael’s Bookstore tomorrow night, Friday, November 16th, at 7pm.
Ah. Sweet surrender. That’s a phrase. That’s the name of a bakery. Probably several bakeries in the world, actually. But is surrender so sweet? Oh…subtext. Ok.I’ve never literally waved a white flag. That is not a thing that...
