Robert Frost said, "There's absolutely no reason to be rushed along with the rush."  So, avoid the last moment rush for Admission Packages to our Author Events and Order yours Early.

Authors range from Debut Authors to International Bestsellers.  Roger adds New Author Events during the week as Vivien commits to Dates and Venues.  Watch and read our Author Events Calendar on our website for exciting Author Events and updates to be added as commitments and confirmations occur.  Be among the first people to know who Rainy Day Books will be hosting in the Heartland, for example:  Tony Horwitz and others to be identified soon.  You will be well advised, informed and wise to order your Admission Packages early.

Here is some wise advice:  Go ahead and Buy your Books from Rainy Day Books so if and when the Authors of those Books come for Author Events you will automatically be offered 1 or 2 Admission Tickets per Event and you will already have your Books in hand.  Our Admission Packages include 1 or 2 Tickets and 1 New Book.  Rainy Day Books produces 300+ Author Events each year and we offer an Open Forum for Authors with all kinds of messages and stories.  We do it all for your benefit and enjoyment.  Our Author Events are an investment in the well-being of our community.  Our Author Events are where you can meet & greet the Authors of the Day, up-close-and-personal, day in & day out.
