Saturday, July 6th, 10am-6pm: Love Your Indie Author / Bookstore In-Store Celebration

Did you know that four of our 2012 store bestsellers were small press titles? On July 6th, we will celebrate the underdog writers . . . the mavericks and the believers! According to Wikipedia, they've got some literary royalty in their ranks and some people who, while maybe not all that literary, made a boatload of money! Some examples: Adam Croft, Stephen Leather, Stephen Crane, e.e. cummings, Deepak Chopra, Benjamin Franklin, Zane Grey, Pat Ingoldsby, Rudyard Kipling, D.H. Lawrence, Thomas Paine, Edgar Allen Poe, Ezra Pound, Carl Sandburg, George Bernard Shaw, Upton Sinclair, Gertrude Stein, Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, and Mark Twain. Come meet these brave scribe warriors who are putting themselves out there, sometimes at their own expense, because they've got a story to tell:

Where's Waldo July 1st - July 31st: Where's Waldo in Greenville, SC, Scavenger Hunt
Following the success of last year's 25th birthday celebration of Where's Waldo, Candlewick Press, Waldo's publisher, is sponsoring another local scavenger hunt! For the second year in a row, Fiction Addiction will be hosting an exciting month-long scavenger hunt to find Waldo at 15 local, independent businesses in July. Each business will have a six-inch Waldo standee displayed somewhere in their stores starting July 1st -- your job is to find them! At your first stop, make sure to pick up your "Find Waldo in Greenville!" passport, which has a list of all 15 participating stores. Whenever you spot a Waldo standee, tell a store employee who will stamp or sign your passport. Throughout the month, there will be prizes awarded to the players, and on July 31st, there will be a big Waldo shindig at Fiction Addiction from 1-2pm. You can see a list of participating businesses and get more information here.
