I was thrilled to take part in two very different events over the past few weeks!
On June 16th, I attended the 2012 Author Extravaganza at the Town Crier Bookstore in Emporia, Kansas. I was one of fifty authors invited to the annual event, and it was my first signing in Kansas for “The Powder of Life.”

I met many terrific people at the event which drew plenty of authors and avid readers from around the area. The Emporia Gazette printed a nice write-up about it, and I was thrilled to be singled out in it! CLICK HERE to read the piece.
Paul Miles Schneider signs a copy of “The Powder of Life,” the sequel to his novel “Silver Shoes,” at the Town Crier Bookstore in Emporia, Kansas.
The second event for “The Powder of Life” was held on July 1st at the private residence of my good friend Jane Albright, who generously offered to host a book talk, reading, and signing at her historic Hyde Park home in Kansas City, Missouri.

Copies of “Silver Shoes” and “The Powder of Life” are displayed on the front hall table of Jane Albright’s home. The cozy and elegant room where the reading took place is seen behind it.
I met a delightful couple, Gregory Foreman and his wife Melodie, who both attended the event and bought books.

After the reading and signing, we were treated to a tour of Jane’s expansive Oz Room, housed on the third floor of her historic home. Good friend Stacey Warner Hatton is seen here perusing the collection.
