Fun, Amazing, Etc.

This is the official blog of indie author / adventure writer Andy R. Bunch, author of the fantasy book, "Suffering Rancor." As always, I'll post funny or amazing things I find in my travels or from poking around online. This is a great place to kick back and relax a bit. You may note that I’m not too clean or too dirty. For more information on my book, go to http://andyrbunch.weebly.com/. Here are links to first two books http://goo.gl/iHP1i and http://goo.gl/kK13W

The Spring Home and Garden show is coming up February 20-23. I enjoyed my time at the fall show, which was much smaller, especially the part where I sold a lot of books. http://www.otshows.com/phs/

to the Wilsonville Festival of Arts Author Event
 Saturday & Sunday, May 31 and June 1, 2014

Applications are now open for the 15th annual Wilsonville Festival of Arts.
This event is set once again in Town Center Park in the heart of Wilsonville. It features an array of visual artists and their booths, a large tent with student art, a Main Performance Stage with live music and dance throughout the day, several community organization booths, food carts featuring international fare, a tent with children's activities and storytellers, AND  …
Right in the middle of all the activity is the Literary Plaza, a 10 x 20 white canopy with tables and chairs for our authors and a giant banner reading, ‘BOOKS, BOOKS, BOOKS’.  Authors will sit and sell from tables for one or two 3-hour timeslots each day: 10:30 AM  – 1:30 PM and 2:00 – 5 PM. There is space for six authors per timeslot and authors may sign up for more than one time.  Authors bring their own books and handle their own selling and signing.
DEADLINE IS MARCH 30 (or until timeslots are filled).
Get additional information as well as an application form from the Festival of Arts/Wilsonville Arts and Culture Council website,www.WilsonvilleArts.org.
