Join author Russell Estes on Thursday at 6 PM for a Q&A session. You can ask him about his wonderful books. You can ask him about his hobbies. You can ask him about his shortcomings. You can even ask him to give up secrets that he pinky-swore and did a spit-handshake promise on never to tell. It’s okay… he says he had his fingers crossed.

“About 6:15 or so, I’ll break open the boxes and commence to signing books that make English teachers cringe. I’ll have every book that I’ve ever tricked a publisher into printing, including the new one, When The Lights Go Out: The College Years,” Estes said.

After that, Russell said, “We can all go to the Cardinal and drink Strawberry Mountain Dews until we slip into sugar comas and catch category 3 headaches. Yep, we're gonna party hard…  as long as I’m in bed by 9 PM”.

If you miss him in Winfield, come hang out with Cuz’n Russell the next day at the Brilliant High School gym for the “Official Release Event”. “Yep… I’m coming home! On Friday evening, I’ll be signing books in the gym lobby, and on the hardwood, the Tigers will be working the scoreboard into submission. Concessions sold separately and highly recommended”.

A few minutes with Cuz’n Russell will lift your spirits and put a smile on your face., And buy his books!
