You are invited to "Meet the Author" at the John C. Anderson Mansion on the Macoupin County Historical Society grounds in Carlinville. This free event runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 2. There will be four amazing authors that will be inside the home. Each author will be sharing with you their inspirations behind their books. You will have the opportunity to purchase their book and have the author sign it. Children will also have their own area for fun upstairs in the mansion with a craft area and special reading from the children’s author.

Authors that will be in attendance are children’s author Lee LoBue, Christian romance author Cynthia Roemer, fantasy author Alisha Klapheke, and crime thriller author C. Ed Traylor. Each author will be reading excerpts from their books and answering any questions to those in attendance. This is a wonderful opportunity to visit with your favorite author or get to know a new one. The authors will be available at the mansion from 10 a.m. to noon and 1 to 3 p.m.

Another opportunity to get to know these authors is by having lunch alongside them. For a donation, a delicious lunch will be available inside the Ruyle Building from noon to 1 p.m.
