May 29th, 2021 Saturday day-time, the Lone Star Book Festival in Seguin, Texas






 Howdy & Happy New Year in 2021.

 

While we still recover from the COVID19 pandemic, we are looking forward to getting back out there and meeting our fans, and participating in new and exciting ventures.  Our Twitter account is @LoneStarBF You can also, use the hashtag #LoneStarFestival and #SeguinTexas in your postings. 

 

The Lone Star Festival is still on target to happen on May 29, 2021. We have created the first round of social media images both in GIF and JPG that are attached and ready for you to begin using.  Let’s build towards a great event and getting people out on Memorial Day weekend for some FREE fun so they can buy up your books. 

 

Just a quick recap, we are still planning a Friday night reception on May 28th, we will post more information on the website as we get it more finalized. 


The Saturday event is currently scheduled from 9 AM – 4 PM.  I will be sending out notices to the authors in March or April to arrange book readings of 45-minute sessions each.  We will have three categories, Fiction, Non-Fiction, and Children’s.  A separate area is already established for those readings. 


We are still looking for musicians to play outside in the patio area during the event.  Having music inside would only cause sound issues that we have seen to not work well when authors are talking about their books. 


We are working on providing lunch on that day and will keep you advised as it gets closer. 


Don't forget, there is a host hotel, and a link to other hotels, B&B's, etc. on this page: Host Hotel (bookfestival.network)


 

If you have any questions, please let us know. 


Cheers,

BookPeople GVM Speaking Event, Professional photos taken by Jonathan Garza

GVM spoke and presented his brand new third book, "The Nation We Live In" in Mid February 2020, @BookPeople on the 2nd floor. $13.75 For Sale. Indie Published. This free to attend event went very well! (I personally paid BookPeople something like $250 bucks to set up, host and promote)  I read excerpts from the book for about 15-20 minutes, before opening up to audience Questions and engagement.  A number of signed books were also bought and sold!

It was a Success! The Lone Star Book Festival 5.29.2021 was fantastic!

The Lone Star Book Festival in the Downtown Square of Seguin, Texas today was a SUCCESS! The Indie Authors and I had a friendly, cool wholesome meal @the Power Plant Restaurant and Venue Friday night. Good times all around. The Book Festival Today had roughly 50 or so individual author, music, and art tents. All were surrounding a well manicured Seguin downtown square park with a beautiful fountain. The  streets were  blocked off, and the visiting patrons and book inquisitor guests were gracious and welcoming. The guests even bought books too. Multiple fellow authors told me they sold 15 books or more. The day started off cool, overcast and drizzly, but by 11 am or 12 noon there were blue skies and sunshine. Thanks to BookPeople for the bookmarks, and BookPeople Bumper stickers. There were so many visitors, they all got taken. ---gvm
