How did 100-plus people subscribe to this site if there is no subscribe button? Well, as... Continue Reading →
Found out this morning that "Wicked Columbus, Indiana" has made the top spot on Amazon's Indianapolis Travel Books best seller list. I am fairly certain that neither of my books have ever maintained the No. 1 rank on any of Amazon's lists. The paperback version of the book has shot up the lists in the... Continue Reading →
I am eating Wisconsin cheese curds, drinking cold brew coffee (honey caramel flavor if you must know), and trying very hard to get a lot of things accomplished. I have already finished eating three blueberry pancakes that had been in deep freeze until my microwave admirably performed its duty. But I have done more than... Continue Reading →

But if they did, then we tied them. So below is the proof (scroll down to the red text). If you want to... Continue Reading →
Hey! My wife and I are on the local bookstore's bestseller list for the week. That hasn't happened for a while. Kimberly S. Hoffman's newest book, "Cleo and Roger Discover Columbus, Indiana," is the first for kids focusing on Columbus architecture (and there's lots of groovy architecture here). My "Wicked Columbus, Indiana" keeps hanging in... Continue Reading →
OK, it says "Click here" on the graphic. But I couldn't figure out how to add the link to that button. So click here instead and you can save $3 on admission to the Indianapolis Christmas Gift + Hobby Show at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis. Go to the website for all the details,...

Kimberly S. Hoffman and I conducted a book signing to help Wild Geese Bookshop celebrate its second birthday on Saturday, Nov. 3. There were cupcakes, balloons, a food truck and lots of books. We enjoyed it immensely. The event coincided with the Downtown Franklin Holiday Open House. So there were people everywhere ... I mean everywhere!

The program was the first part of the school's Columbus Past, Present and Future series, which is in it's second year. A good time was had by all who... Continue Reading →
