A Very Special Calkins Day Birthday Gift

WriteOn Joliet member Lindsay Lake (left) was one of the local authors who gifted Ed Calkins, Steward of Tara, with a copy of one his books on Calkins Day, Feb. 13.

You see, Ed Calkins, Steward of Tara, really wanted to give away some books away on his birthday. And  ever since he's published his first book, he's been slowly building up his personal collection of books by local and independent authors (and giving those books as gifts, too).

So why not extend the offer to other authors, too? Bring a book to give and take one of ours home

To our surprise and delight, some authors took a chance on this out-of-the-box idea and came out with their books.

Now Ed Calkins is already a super fan of Lindsay Lake. He adored her book Flower Power and bought five copies to give as gifts during the Christmas holidays.

Unfortunately, Flower Power is the only book Lindsay has published in print. Her other books are only available on Kindle.

But she did not come empty-handed to the Calkins Day celebration.





Instead, she gifted Ed with the actual manuscript for one of her books, complete with editorial notes.


Ed was really honored to receive such a special gift, and he is currently reading one of the titles he received from a local author on Calkins Day.

Check out all of Lindsay Lake's titles on her Amazon author page.
