July and August were good months for the Night Writers. Jointly or individually, we had book signings at the Maple Grove Arts Center, the Two Rivers Music Festival, and Buffalo Books. We were also pleased to have Cyd Haynes join us for our weekly meeting. She has written an article that will be featured soon in Maple Grove Magazine. If you’d like to learn more about the Night Writers, or get updates on our writing and book signings, please join us at our Facebook Page. We are just about to have a drawing for a free book, so come by and click LIKE quickly!

Maple Grove Days was held in Maple Grove, Minnesota this week, with a parade, street festival, face painting, crafts for sale, art projects for kids at the Maple Grove Arts Center, a group book signing by the Night Writers, and a spoken word with musical accompaniment performance by Night Writers John Stanton and Justin Knauss of John’s piece Flying Monkeys.
We all like to think, of course, that our books are beloved, but we were very flattered when visitors came from as far as the Caribbean.
What’s better than music? What’s better than Scotland? Music and Scotland, of course!
I am lucky enough to have Druidsong’s latest CD, Rebels and Rogues, courtesy of Druidsong and Radio de Danann, available as a give-away. Druidsong, aka Bruce Golightly, does Celtic music primarily of Ireland and Scotland, on 6 and 12 string guitar, bodhran, and tin whistle. He has been performing since the 1960′s in and around Pittsburgh. He currently has three albums out, Johnny Jump Up, Druidsong, and Rebels and Rogues. Rebels and Rogues includes The Ballad of Rory McGuinness, written by Nan Hawthorne, host of Radio de Danann and author of the medieval novel, An Involuntary King.
