It has been some years since the last book fair and a great turnout is expected for the local and regional talent who will be on hand to speak with readers and sign copies of their works. Remember: Christmas is coming! What better gift than a personalized book! Held just two weeks prior to the Kentucky Book Fair in Lexington, the State's premiere writers event, the Adair BookFair will be host to four well-known writers who will be among the KBF's top attractions. Christopher Rowe, Adair County's native son, his lovely wife, Gwenda Bond; Anderson County's Ann H. Gabhart, and Joe Keith Bickett of Raywick, KY comprise this impressive list. Darlene Franklin Campbell, well-known to every reader, will be a highlight of the Adair Fair. Native and resident, writer and teacher, storyteller and artist of tremendous talent, Darlene will be present to sign several of her titles and we hope everyone can come out and make her day!

Dr. John Mark Carter, of Russell County, KY will offer his excellent historical novel of the Civil War Battle of Mill Springs, The Parson's Sons, which has received rave reviews.

She writes romance for every reader's taste from super sweet to scandalously spicy.
