Scribbles From a Scribe – A Blog by Author Stan Finger
A Review From Spain

A Relic Linked to My First Book
I am in the process of replacing the large, outdated desk in my home office and came across this printout as I was emptying drawers and shelves recently. It’s the final draft of INTO THE DEEP, the book I wrote about the flash flood on the Kansas Turnpike in 2003 with the man whose family perished in that tragedy.

Meeting Readers – And Reconnecting With Fellow Authors
Local Author Day was a treat on Saturday at the Advanced Learning Library in downtown Wichita. I was one of 88 authors participating in the event and people were browsing and chatting with writers well before it formally opened.
Reinforcements Have Arrived
I've ordered extra copies of my novel for Local Author Day on Aug. 20 at the Advance Learning Library in downtown Wichita.

Local Author Day
I hope you can join me and about 100 other local authors at this popular event next month at the Advanced Learning Library downtown. I love meeting people and hearing what they like to read.
