Crystal Arlene Kuykendall’s “The Crystal Pumpkin” Will Be Displayed at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2023

Crystal Arlene Kuykendall, author of “The Crystal Pumpkin,” provides an explosive and riveting portrayal of events in local and national history, as seen through the lens of a young Black girl who grows into adulthood in Chicago. The characters are real, and their lives, like their stories, are unforgettable. The lessons provided are universal, and the messages are moving and memorable.

The book will be displayed by the self-publishing and book marketing company ReadersMagnet at the 2023 Frankfurt Book Fair (Frankfurter Buchmesse). The book trade fair will take place on October 18- 22, 2023, at the Frankfurt Trade Fair grounds, Ludwig-Erhard-Anlage 1, 60327 Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

The Frankfurt Book Fair, also known as Frankfurter Buchmesse, is the world’s largest trade book fair for books. This event is annually organized by Frankfurter Buchmesse GmbH. This book fair is an important event for publishers, content providers, agents, booksellers, academics, translators, film producers, authors, artists, antiquarians, and software and multimedia suppliers.

“The Crystal Pumpkin” is a semi-autobiography that captures the essence of the culture, experiences, struggles, music, entertainment, art, poetry, religion, charm, and nuances of Black life, Black love, and Black survival. The book is divided into three parts: “Dawn,” “Day,” and “Dusk.” The author explores the dawning of her identity amid self-doubt, family secrets, childhood fantasies, the specter of racism, and her educational and professional challenges as a public school teacher and university faculty. Crystal brings her readers on a rollercoaster as they will witness the power of caring “Merchants of Hope” and “light givers” to change lives in the face of unique struggles and personal setbacks.

ReadersMagnet is more than honored to display Kuykendall’s “The Crystal Pumpkin” at the Frankfurt Book Fair. The company is committed to helping independent and self-published authors boost their marketing efforts, expand their brand, and connect with potential readers and even fellow authors.
