Great time at 5:41, Spirit of Hope signing

I had a great time Saturday at the signing at Changing Hands Book Shoppe in Joplin for 5:41: Stories from the Joplin Tornado and Spirit of Hope: The Year After the Joplin Tornado.

John Hacker and I spent a couple of hours talking with people about the books, the Joplin Tornado, and various other topics.

Both books will continue to be available at Changing Hands at a special combined price of $30 (a savings of $15).

Thanks to those who joined us, including Rebecca Williams of Joplin Tornado Info and Joplin High School freshman Jennifer Nguyen, both of whom contributed chapters to Spirit of Hope.

Our books are available in Joplin at Changing Hands Book Shoppe, Always Buying Books, Vintage Stock on the Mall, and Countryside Flowers. They are also available through Amazon.com and other internet outlets.
