Uncle Barty and Bertrand Mouse would like the pleasure of your company tonight at WriteOn Joliet's anthology release party tonight, Dec. 8.
The anthology releade party will be held from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at the Joliet Public Library, Black Road branch, 3395 Black Road in Joliet.
Admission to the anthology release party is free.
The celebration includes complimentary appetizers and desserts, an informal meet and greet with local authors who are members of the group, including Uncle Barty and Bertrand the Mouse.
Even from WriteOn's first anthology release party in 2017, Bertrand has not be shy about mingling with guests.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to purchase copies of the anthology as well as as individual works by individual authors.
Bertrand the Mouse will have limited amounts of his books to sell. He just fulfilled a large order for Santa and Amazon wasn't able to ship replacement copies that quickly.
The BryonySeries will also feature this special "thank you" gift for select purchases.
Founding member Duanne Walton plans to set up a table and play the videos from WriteOn Joliet's open mics and individual events through the years. So be sure to stop by his table and listen for a bit.
The Book and Bean Cafe, which is located inside the library, will have a variety of heartier food as well as coffee, tea, and other beverages, available for purchase.
Janet Staley, owner of The Book Market in Crest Hill, will handle checkout. Everyone who buys a book, either the anthology or a book from the other tables, will receive a Book Market bookmark that features a ten percent discount on books at Staley's store through January 31, 2023.
The party is for all ages. So if your children and grandchildren have yet to visit Santa this year, bring them out.
Photos with Santa are free. Santa, known as Ed Calkins, Steward of Tara the rest of the year, will also be signing and selling his own books.
He will also most likely sign any book in which he appears as a character.
Santa will also be giving away free candy canes as long as he has some left to give.
Uncle Barty and Bertrand are so concerned about being late, they are dressed and heading out to the cold car to wait for the humans to get done with their work.
And they're excited to meet every one of you.
See you soon!
