Distinguished Speaker Series

Saturday night my husband and I went to the farmlands of Geauga County Ohio to hear C.J. Box speak as part of the Geauga County Libraries Distinguished Speaker Series.

We really braved rain and snow and the darkness... out in the country they don't have many street lights!

It was worth it! He was very funny. He talked about how and why he got started writing and his character Joe Pickett and what was to come in his writing. My husband bought the latest mystery and had it signed (he was first in line!).

He had some great comments on being a writer and how it may take awhile but sometimes it pays off. He also gave background on what the main governmental or environmental issue of his stories were.

If you haven't read his books, my husband highly recommends them!
