Moscow Farmers Market days are an excellent opportunity to introduce local authors to the community. This event, co-sponsored by the Palouse Writers Guild and BookPeople of Moscow features authors from the Palouse and LC Valley. From 10 AM to 1 PM authors will be on hand, both outside and in the store, to chat with readers and sign their books.
Featured Authors
Al Halsey
When most everyone fawned over prancing, sparkling vampires, Al toiled away writing about zombies. Fantasy zombies, western zombies, zombies and more zombies. To say that zombies are an obsession of his is an understatement. Very few zombie movies have escaped his cadaverous eye.
A lifelong resident of Lewiston, Idaho, Al graduated from Lewiston High School and Lewis-Clark State College. He spent the last 30 years working with children with emotional and behavioral problems and training other professionals to do the same. In his free time Al trains in martial arts, tells his rescued cats to get off the counter, and consumes large quantities of Thai food unapologetically. Considered by some to be the neighborhood curmudgeon, he wears this title as a badge of honor.
You can catch up with Al on the Al Halsey Author Page on Facebook, or @AlHalsey1 on Twitter.
