ARK CITY READINGS

On August 31, 2018, I had an amazing book-signing event. This was unique, different, special. It was to promote the newly released second book of the Ark City Confidential Chronicles, Secrets of the Righteous.

Since the book took place between 1935 and 1938, my neighbor, Rev. Cindy Watson, thought it would be a good idea to have a period cocktail party in her historic midtown home. We created interesting cocktails named in some fashion after the book series. We researched hors d’oeuvres conducive to the time period, including a ham salad canapé and a Jell-O ring (which, yes, I actually made). Attendees were encouraged to dress accordingly.

Some of the photos of this event are included:

However, I also recorded readings from the first two books that were filmed and edited by the media technician from the First United Methodist Church in downtown Wichita. These played on a laptop on a loop. I am as impressed by the technological aspects as this event as I was by the food, beverage, and turnout. We are both salivating to have another such event.

Please enjoy the video.

I hope to see you all at the OWFI Conference, Bridging the Epic Gap.
