HARBOR SPRINGS FESTIVAL OF THE BOOK 2017

In 2016 Harbor Springs hosted the first Festival of the Book. The three day event was supported by the entire community with a goal of every student and resident having an opportunity to interact with an author. What began as a local celebration immediately became 'one of the largest literary festivals in the Midwest.'

My friend Joy and I went last year and pledged to go again this year. Last year we heard presentations from Craig Johnson, author of the western mystery Longmire series, and Elizabeth Letts, author of "The Perfect Horse: The Daring U.S. Mission to Rescue the Priceless Stallions Kidnapped by the Nazis".

So far we have reservations to hear Denise Kiernan, author of "The Last Castle: The Epic Story of Love, Loss and American Royalty in the Nation’s Largest Home". Beyond that we plan to explore some of the vast number of authors who will attend.

I checked a couple of books out of the library that I hope to read before then. One is "The Dark Net" by Benjamin Percy and "All the Missing Girls" by Megan Miranda.
