Authors in the Park is back at the Donnelly Park Building in beautiful downtown Mount Dora for  the Sixth Annual Christmas Book-tacular on Saturday, December 23rd, 2017, 530 N. Donnelly St, Mount Dora, Florida in Lake County. Eight great local and independent authors are participating in the popular annual event, made special by the spectacular holiday light display surrounding the park.Mark Miller, president of MillerWords publishing, helped create Authors in the Park (or AIP) originally in 2012. The event has been a holiday constant in North Lake County since then, with a focus on celebrating local authors. The event series promotes the authors and gives them an opportunity to sell books that might not otherwise make it to store shelves.“We want to underline the importance of literacy and the participants are encouraged to discuss tips and techniques for aspiring authors,” said Miller. “These are not typically NY Times best-sellers at AIP, but people right out of our community with a story to tell.”The book signing event will be open to the public and free to attend from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm in the Donnelly Park Building right in the middle of historic downtown Mount Dora. There will be a raffle drawing of multiple gift baskets. Guests will receive one entry with every $10 they spend with any participating author.“Mount Dora is an art lover’s town and the holiday atmosphere is electric,” added Miller, pun intended. The Authors in the Park events continue to grow each year. The event series attracts a variety of award-winning and best-selling authors in addition to the occasional surprise guest. Book genres will range from children’s picture books to romance to non-fiction.  “Authors of almost every genre will be coming from all across Florida,” said Miller. “The original vision was to bring together a group of authors that wanted to promote literacy and community involvement. Sure, we want to sell books, but we also want to give back while having a good time.” All authors will be available for photo ops, autographs and will answer questions about their books and other writing topics. The event is free to attend and open to the public. Books and other gift ideas will be available for purchase.Miller concluded, “It is an opportunity for a reader to meet their new favorite author.”Event Details:Donnelly Park Building, 530 N.
