On Wednesday afternoons, the Mount Pleasant Farmers' Market blossoms to sell local wares in a parking lot on Main Street. To celebrate the worldwide release of the Halloween themed anthology, Moon Shadows,  Laurel Highlands Publishing has organized a book signing at the Mount Pleasant Farmers' Market. Wednesday, Oct 1st, I will be signing copies of Moon Shadows , the World In-between , Bow of the Moon , and Secrets of the Sages . When:  Wednesday, Oct 1st, 1pm to 6pm Where:  Mount Pleasant Farmers' Market  (Shop Demo Depot parking lot on State Road 31) I will be joined by fellow authors: Fred C.
