If you’re not familiar with the Louisiana Book Festival, it’s held on the Capitol grounds in Baton Rouge. It basically starts at 10:00 and ends at 5:30. The general link is here. And there’s also a link to my profile here. My talk is in the Capitol building itself, in House Committee Room 4, which is in the basement (Alario Hall). I’ll be doing a signing at the Barnes & Noble tent at 11:00, which is along Spanish Town Road on the Capitol grounds. After that I plan to hit a bunch of other exciting panels and presentations.
The festival is free and open to the public, and they have all kinds of things for kids to do as well. There will be booths up during the day with food and exhibits, and there are kid’s tents, live music, a cooking demonstration, and much more. There’ll be lots of books. Hurray! The State library and State museum are also right there. At 6:00 there is a free concert by the Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra.
If you’re going to be in the Baton Rouge area on Saturday, stop by. The Capitol grounds are gorgeous and there should be many interesting sights and sounds to experience. Plus, did I mention "books?"
Needless to say, I won’t be blogging until at least Sunday. But I’ll give a report here when I get a chance. In the meantime, I’m going to have some fun.
Charles, Have fun and we will be here waiting when you get back!

ReplyDeleteI know you'll be busy, busy for a couple of days, but check our post at Women of Mystery (Sat.) congratulating our own Kathy and at least one other- ahem- of the fine writers who'll be in the Hint Fiction anthology next year. Congrats, Charles! You keep swanky company under the covers.
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic time!
ReplyDeleteI hope you guys have fun and that you get yourself many more local fans, Charles. I'd love to visit LA for a book festival. Too bad I can't this time.
ReplyDeleteYour presentation was wonderful, as always. I'm glad we got to go. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. I much appreciate the kind comments. I'll be trying to get around to blogs starting this evening but I'm going to be well behind.
