Friday September 25th marks the start of the 2015 Baltimore Book Festival. I am looking forward to attending once again (my fourth year in a row) and will be in the Author’s tent on Friday, from 11 am to 7 pm, selling and signing copies of Deadball, A Metaphysical Baseball Novel, as well as my new, non fiction book, The College Baseball Primer. That evening, at 6:30 pm, I will be appearing at the Speaker’s Stage adjacent to the Author’s Tent, talking about Deadball and Baltimore’s lost ballparks of baseball.

This year marks the second year in a row that the Baltimore Book Festival has been held at the Inner Harbor.

2014 Baltimore Book Festival at the Inner Harbor

In previous years, the Festival was held in the Mount Vernon neighborhood of Baltimore, adjacent to the Washington Monument.

Both locations had their advantages. Mount Vernon had a wonderful, neighborhood feel, surrounded by beautiful turn of the century buildings. The Inner Harbor brings more foot traffic to the festival, with its central, downtown location.

If you are planning on attending the Festival on Friday, please stop by the Authors Tent and say hello. Or, come heckle me during my appearance at the Speaker’s Stage. Either way, it will be great to see you.
