I will be in attendance at the Books NJ book festival at the Paramus Public Library in Paramus, NJ this Sunday, June 12. If you are in the area, be sure to stop by to meet me and the over 100 other authors selling books, signing copies, speaking on panels, and sharing their love of books with other authors and readers alike.

I will be selling and autographing copies of my books, speaking on the Beyond Reality author panel, and quite possibly participating in the Poetry Slam. Also, people purchasing autographed copies of Performed by Lugosi at the Books NJ event will also receive free eBook copies of Monster Rally. I look forward to seeing you there!

 “More than 100 authors, from first-timers such as Paramus own Steven Paley to New York Times bestselling author Mary Higgins Clark, will be at Paramus Public Library on June 12 for BooksNJ 2011.

Hosted by the Bergen County Cooperative Library System and Paramus Public Library, the event is free to all and will be held from 1 to 5 p.m. It will feature readings, workshops and discussions with writers and illustrators from a large range of genres.”Everything from childrens authors to adult New York Times bestselling authors, illustrators to childrens book illustrators and poets will be here, with over 35 panels,” said Paramus Public Library Adult Programming Coordinator Donna Perkosky.

“The group that put this together has put together these panel discussions that allow people to get up close and personal with authors. Many of them are from New Jersey or live in New York; they have some kind of tie to New Jersey.”

Panels include topics such as “From Post-its To Pages: Writing a Book;” “An American Favorite: The Picture Book;” “A Female Heroine From A Male Perspective;” and “”All The Presidents Men” Jersey Style featuring Josh Margolin and Ted Sherman. Also included are readings by authors for children and workshops hosted by published writers and illustrators.”

“Its just a fun family day where people can get up close and personal with the authors that walk among us,” Perkosky said.
