Turner, Hughes, local authors to appear at Crowder College symposium

I will be in Neosho Wednesday, May 2, for the second annual Crowder College Local Author Symposium. All of my books, including Silver Lining in a Funnel Cloud, 5:41: Stories from the Joplin Tornado, Classroom Confidential and No Child Left Alive, will be on sale at reduced prices and Turner Report t-shirts will also be available.
