Author Robert Easton’s “Tales from the Palouse Country” will be displayed at the 2019 Miami Book Fair

Robert Easton recently published a new version of his book, “Tales from the Palouse Country” (ReadersMagnet; 2019).
 
For readers who get nostalgic about old Washington like the author, check out the exhibit of this book at the Miami Book Fair 2019 Street Fair on November 22 – 24, 2019 at Miami Dade College (Wolfson Campus) in Downtown Miami.
 
The Miami Book Fair aims to spread awareness of the literary arts in Miami’s multi-ethnic community; promote reading and writing, and serve the community through the promotion of the craft and the power of the written word. Aside from the weekend Street Fair, the book fair, which will run from November 17 through 24, hosts author talks, panel discussions, book signings, musical performances, and many other activities.
 
Easton’s book “Tales from the Palouse Country” will be exhibited by ReadersMagnet at the 2019 Miami Book Fair.
 
The book is a collection of thirteen exaggerated stories or essays concerning the author’s experiences growing up in a small, unnamed town in the Palouse country of eastern Washington State. Much of the material is drawn purely from his childhood memories of the late 1930s and 1940s.
 
“All of the ‘tales’ are based on actual incidents but some of the names of places and people have been changed or deleted to protect the guilty—and the innocent,” said Easton. “Some of the stories are nostalgic satires. Others are ‘fictionalized fact’ or ‘factualized fiction’, whichever the reader prefers.
 
“Some are the wordy, rambling kinds of yarns that have traditionally been spun around pot-bellied stoves in barbershops, pool halls and the backrooms of country stores.”
 
Hearken to the “good old days” with Robert Easton’s “Tales from the Palouse Country.” Order today on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
