I hope you will join us for an author visit with Bo Hunter (aka Chris Johnson) on Thursday, September 17th, at 11:00 AM, as he promotes his book, The Holler.

Chris will offer his book for a reduced rate of $10 while supplies last. During his visit he will discuss his book. I wonder if we will recognize any of his fictional characters.
