25th Anniversary of the Kentucky Book Festival


My 'table mates" were Mark Schweizer, author of liturgical mystery series: The Soprano Wore Falsettos, The Alto Wore Tweed, The Baritone wore Chiffon and The Tenor Wore Tapshoes. Sandra Tooley (aka S.D. Tooley and Lee Driver) is a mystery writer featuring her Chase Dagger series which include Nothing Else Matters, Full Moon-Bloody Moon and her newest young adult book, The Skull.

With over 3,000 attendees, the aisle were packed full. The biggest draw included actress Patricia Neal (actually she wheeled down the aisle right in front of our table), Robert Hicks, Bobbie Ann Mason and even former Kentucky Governor Martha Layne Collins. All in all, the event was superb and accomodations were excellent.
