And, you might just be able to do your Father's Day book buying. All three of our books plus a personally signed poster for the price of $60! Come and join us!

Jenna, Jim, and I are going to do joint presentations pertaining to our books, The Stormchasers, Storm Chaser: A Photographer's Journey, and Warnings. It will be a unique evening of fun, entertainment, and a little learning. Watermark Books, Wichita, 7pm, June 6. [Google apparently lost this posting, too, thus the repost]
