Part 2 - Author Fest at the Findlay Hancock County Library

​Hello from the Findlay Hancock County Library! That was me back on November 1, when I was there for Author Fest night.

​
Part 2 – Meeting the Authors Next-Door: Hello to my neighbors, from the tables beside me. They’re the writers I talked to the most. When there was a lull in the action, we had fun chatting and talking books.
​

At the table to my left was Theresa Konwinski. She’s written poetry since childhood. Now she writes stories about life. She finds her words in her experiences as a nurse, wife, mother, and now in retirement. You can find her three published novels and five short stories on her website.

At Author Fest she was excited about meeting people who want to write. People who are just beginning. Theresa loved talking to them, encouraging them to keep going, to keep writing. Listening to her reminded me how much joy I feel when the right words find their way into a story😊

Meet Jean Mueller and Audrea Mancinotti at the table to my right. They’re a team in lots of ways. Jean does the writing, and Audrea does the illustrations. They’re also related. Jean is the aunt, and Audrea is her niece. They’re both educators. Jean is a school librarian, and Audrea teaches sixth grade.  Best of all they work together creating children’s books.

Their adventure started when Jean dreamed of writing a picture book about her father’s woods. It came true when she asked Audrea to do the illustrations. That first book came out last June, and their second one is brand-new.

                       Tomorrow:  How Jean met me before Author Fest, and their two book covers.
