That's me, signing books in front of Sandmeyer's Bookstore during the 2008 Printers Row Book Fair. Printers Row Lit Fest is back! I’ll be sitting with Luna the Seeing Eye dog in front of Sandmeyer’s, our favorite local bookstore at 1:00 this Saturday afternoon, September 11 to chat with passers-by and sign books for any and all interested bookworms.

Sandmeyer’s first honored me with a spot at their table way back when my children’s book Safe & Sound was published and Printer’s Row Lit Fest was still called Printer’s Row Book Fair. They’ll have copies of Safe & Sound available at our table for me and Luna to sign, along with Long Time, No See and my most recent book, Writing Out Loud.

But wait. There’s more! Published author Regan Burke (a writer in one of the memoir-writing classes I lead here in Chicago) will be at the table with Seeing eye dog Luna and me, too, signing copies of her new memoir, In That Number, published by Tortoise Books.

It’s pretty swell to live in a neighborhood that devotes an entire festival to books every year, and having it cancelled last year was a bummer. Sitting in front of Sandmeyer’s Bookstore for Printer’s Row Lit Fest has become an annual ritual for me, and I’m really looking forward to being back there this Saturday to celebrate and share Regan’s success. If you’re free this weekend, please join us outside in front of Sandmeyer’s . If you can’t get here by 1 pm, you can catch Regan at the Tortoise Books table later Saturday afternoon at 2:30 pm.
