On March 15, 2015, Mr. Adam J Kugler presented the Director of the Henderson County Public Library, Anita Smith, in Biggsville, IL, with a copy of his latest work "The Keeper of Time." This presentation was made by the author that afternoon and was documented by on both the Facebook site of the author and the Library in kind. Mr. Kugler has since set up a time to do a book signing and a meet and greet with the public at the library. This event is open to the public and invite anyone who would like to come to do so. The author will be selling his books at the event so if you are not able to find the books, you will be able to get them there. Most notably the author will have "The Keeper of Time;" the first book in the Keeper Series available at the signing. There is no set number of books to this series yet. However there will be at the very least two more books in the series. The second book is in the proofread stage and the third one is in the writing stage. Also at this sale you will be able to get your hands on the Mr. Kugler's first published novel: "Chasing Dreams." This is a fast paced thriller where the bad guy may not turn out to be who you think he was. Mr. Kugler wrote "Chasing Dreams" when he took a semester off from college and decided to write a book. Needless to say he got "hooked" on writing and fell deeply in love with the thing that he had been doing off and on since he was in the third grade. "Chasing Dreams" was published back in September of 2014 and "The Keeper of Time" came out the beginning of February. The date of the book signing/meet and greet at the Henderson County Public Library has been set for April 25, 2015 from 9am-noon. On April 8, 2015 Mr. Kugler donated a copy of his book to the director, Lill Batson, of the Viola Public Library. He took a small tour of the small library which is hoping to move into its new home soon, but is not sure when that is going to be for sure. The library has agreed to set up a time for some time in May to do a book signing/meet and greet with the public there. We are looking forward to the opportunity to bring people into the little library. Mr. Kugler is also set to visit two bookstores in the area. The first of these bookstores is Barnes & Noble. This will be taking place on June 6, 2015 and with run from 1-3 pm. Barnes & Noble is located in North Park Mall, Davenport, IA. The other bookstore he will be visiting will be Burlington By The Book located in downtown Burlington, Iowa at 301 Jefferson. That signing is covering both "The Keeper of Time" and "Chasing Dreams" and the Barnes & Noble visit will only cover "The Keeper of Time." The visit at Burlington By the Book will take place on June 13, 2015 from 11 am- 2 pm.
