Some of the authors who have participated in BookFest have been working together on some interesting new projects:
At The Shops at the Senator’s House, during the authors’ meeting, Tim Bullard, author of Haunted Watauga County, interviewed Doug Butler, author of After Appomattox: NC Civil War Monuments. The interview was published in the Mooresville Tribune and the Morganton News-Herald.
