Award and Thank You I've had the privilege to present at two very interesting venues in the last couple of weeks. First, I visited the Hannibal Free Public Library in Hannibal, MO. The library itself is historical and is maintained within a beautiful Beaux-Arts building in downtown Hannibal. Thank you to Hallie Yundt Silver and her staff for providing the space, set-up, and refreshments. I truly enjoyed the visit. Second, I returned to The Novel Neighbor bookstore in Webster Groves. Thank you to Amanda Clark for having me back. We had a good group of attendees which made for a pleasant evening. Finally, I am happy to announce that Fire, Pestilence, and Death: St. Louis 1849 is a Silver Medal winner in the category of Best Regional Non-Fiction History - Midwest as awarded by the Independent Publishers Association. I truly appreciate the award and look forward to seeing the presentment piece that accompanies it.
