Are you in the greater Chicago area? Do you know someone who is? Please share this post and invite them to Elgin Literary Festival. January 29 and 30, 2016. Hemmens Cultural Center. Elgin, Illinois.
I was invited to be a featured author and moderator at the Elgin Literary Festival in Elgin, Illinois. In its second year, the Elgin Literary Festival is a celebration of the arts, with venues all over downtown. The Chicago Tribune heralded the 2015 event.

To help raise funds to support the festival, I donated two signed copies of of To Live Forever and Not Without My Father for purchase during the holiday season. My appearance is at 10am Saturday, January 30, on the Hemmens Cultural Center’s Exhibition Hall stage. I’ll sign and sell books from 11am – 1pm Saturday, January 30.

That is very cool. And if you aren’t careful, very cold. Better bundle up to stay warm. Sounds like fun though. I have never been to Chicago. You are just touring everywhere!
Supposed to be 30s and 40s. I’m not worried. 🙂
I used to live in the Chicago area and Elgin is a lovely place. (well in the summer) Congratulations Andra.
Never been to Elgin, but I love Chicago. I’m looking forward to some quality time with Life on the Cutoff (aka Penny.)
Small town outside Chicago.

I’ll have fun imaging you there as we explore on Sunday. MTM is coming with me for part of the trip. We hope to have a tourist day.
