Sara Bozich, author of Hershey: A Guide to the Town Built on Chocolate, signed and sold copies of her book at the 5th annual Festival of Local Artists, hosted by the Hershey-Derry Township Historical Society.

Author Lisa Oliver Monroe contributed a feature article to the Richmond Grid magazine. In the article, Monroe discusses her process for writing Williamsburg: With Jamestown and Yorktown, America’s Historic Triangle.

“The best part of the experience for me,” Monroe is quoted as saying, “was revisiting the history, which raised as many questions in my mind as were answered.”

While performing research, Monroe comments: “Did you know there’s a shop at Busch Gardens that sells hand-knitted wool sweaters imported from Ireland? After about five months and 20 or so trips to Williamsburg, I can now tell you not only the name of the shop that sells the sweater, but how to get there and how much they cost.”

In the September/October 2009 issue of South Dakota Magazine, Author Jay Kirschenmann was interviewed about his recent work on his book, Black Hills: A Guide to South Dakota’s Classic American Frontier.

“The book has been a long work in progress for Kirschenmann,” the article says, “It’s the culmination of a lifetime of vacations the Hills.”

Kirschenmann commented on his family’s involvement. “My kids tested me on trips out there,” he is quoted as saying. “‘Is [a particular attraction] in there?’ they would ask, so I would flip to the the index and find it. We made a game out of it.”

The article describes how the book “covers the region from Spearfish to Hot Springs.” It also describes how the book is organized by location (as opposed to by type of attraction), which is different than most Black Hills travel books.
