Artists of the Plains to Host Two Local AuthorsOctober 29, 2004 As part of the kick-off for the Artists' Gallery holiday season the collective will sponsor its first author presentation and book signing Saturday, November 6 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the gallery and gift shop on U. S. 287 across from the fairgrounds. New Kiowa County resident, Jeff C. Campbell will present his first mystery, Treasure of the Soul, and Lucinda Jane Perry from Kit Carson will introduce her debut fiction novel Where There's a Will. Campbell's novel is set in the border country in southern New Mexico and Albuquerque, both areas where he served as a law enforcement officer for the last two decades. "It's a western story about a family of ranchers who are also third generation lawmen. It's about the country, the good and bad and how the characters deal with their personal, ranch and professional lives while solving hot and cold cases." His book is available through various on-line booksellers like Amazon.com, B&N.com and through the on-line bookstore at Xlibris.com.

Perry's book draws on her life experiences. The former school counselor now lives on a ranch with her husband. Her story centers on events that had their roots in her main character’s childhood spent on a farm in Arkansas and now re-surface as her protagonist Libby Forester returns to attend the funeral of her grandmother. A bittersweet tale with a family of personalities we all can recognize. Her book is available by order through the author and through book distributors, order desks and Inkwater Press, Portland, Oregon at www.inkwaterpress.com. Both authors have graciously agreed to have a short presentation and question and answer session from 4 to 4:30, then will have copies of their work on hand and be glad to personally inscribe each book. Refreshments will be served. What better gift than local art for the season? While there peruse the paintings, gifts and other art available. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the gallery, which continues to support the creative efforts of the region.
