Live Bookreading
On April 21st I had the distinct pleasure of doing my first book speaking event with the amazingly talented Clay Mcleod Chapman. First a bit about Clay:
Clay McLeod Chapman writes novels, comic books, and children’s books,
as well as for film and TV. He is the author of the horror novels The
Remaking and Whisper Down the Lane. Visit him at claymcleodchapman.com
Old Firehouse Books was kind enough to offer me the chance to read some of my poems from my book Just a Boy Blaming Himself. I hope you enjoy watching this recap and I am looking forward to doing more events in the future.
About Old Firehouse books:
Old Firehouse Books began its life as the Book Rack of Fort Collins, started in 1980 by Bill Hawk. It was a used paperback store, built on trading books. Over time, Bill’s wife, Maggie, and their daughter Marta joined the store. The store grew over twenty years, always carrying one of the finest collections of used titles in Fort Collins. In 2001, the store sold to Susie Wilmer and Dick Sommerfeld, long time Book Rack owners in Cheyenne and Greeley. The present owners increased the used stock and began ordering new books. The store moved to 1801 S. College in the spring of 2002, thanks to many hours of work by staff and volunteers. Even with all the changes, the store has never lost sight of Bill Hawk’s goal to have lots of fun while selling books in Northern Colorado. The ultimate mission is creating a local store that reflects Fort Collins’ unique lifestyle. In 2009, the store moved into the old historic firehouse, a Fort Collins landmark. In honor of the building in which the store is now located, the name was changed to Old Firehouse Books. With more space, the store is better able to hold author signings, book club meetings, and other community events.
