FREE CONTENT: Dayton Book Fest this fall will be the first independent author convention locally
No interest in stories about college basketball games this time of year? No worries, I may have found something that you will love, especially if you are a fellow lover of books. A bookstore right here in Dayton is planning to host an inaugural book convention this fall, with a focus on local and independently published authors. Our own London Bishop writes “The Cozy Book Nook in Dayton recently announced it will host Dayton Book Fest on Sept. 19 at the Antioch Shrine in Dayton.” You can read about the event, as well as the bookstore itself, here.
