An Author At The Loft

     A couple of Sundays ago I was at the Book Loft of German Village, the beautiful book store in the heart of the historic German Village neighborhood in downtown Columbus,

...where the books fill an amazing maze of 32 rooms and hallways,

...and then spill out into the garden.

     I was at the Book Loft on that particular Sunday, June 2, as one of the authors at the Authors at the Loft book event,

...to which book lovers could come to meet Midwestern authors,

...and, hopefully, our books.

     The event was sponsored by the local book podcast yourbookmybook.com,

...organized by youbookmy
book.com Media Production Coordinator Miguel Lopez,

...and hosted by the friendly, accommodating, always smiling Book Loft Manager, Glen Welch.

      Some of the authors had tables in the garden and some of us set up inside the store.   
     I had a cozy spot inside at the top of the second-story landing in the heart of the fiction section,

...where Tom, who'd come to help me, found himself a nice cubby.

      Besides author book-signings and book give-aways, there were also yourbookmybook.com author live interview podcasts,

...and some of the authors, myself among them, gave book talks,

...though we gave our talks outside in the garden.

    It was a good time, and the event was surely a labor of love all around,

...or so if felt to us authors.
