Author Visits
by Debbie 19 Aug '14

19 Aug '14

Hello, If you are looking for a couple interesting authors to have a program at your library, here are a couple suggestions. Author David Charles Stieler has written about a tragic accident that happened to him and his wife, and their determination to survive it. It is an uplifting story. He is a fun and interesting person. There was no charge to have him come, I don't know if he may charge any mileage. You can find him on Facebook.com or call 989-737-4674 Another author that will come at no cost (they usually will bring their books to sell) is Christine Pechacek (pea-ah-cek). She is an author and Legacy coach. She is creator of Share Your Story, Leave Your Legacy, she will do workshops also, she encourages people to share their story to pass down to their kids and grandchildren. She has written two books. She is fun and engaging with the audience. She can be contacted at www.sharestorymemories.com or email at christineauthor9(a)gmail.com. Debbie O'Brien Programming Dept Caro Area District Library 840 W. Frank St. Caro, MI 48723 (989) 673-4329 ext. 105
