We are thrilled to welcome North Alabama and USA Today best-selling author Erin Ampersand for a special Meet the Author and Book Signing. &nbsp;Erin is celebrating the recent release of Time to Play, the hardcover edition of the first book in her popular Apocalypse Parenting series.
Time to Play is the start of a rollicking, unputdownable LitRPG series that Matt Dinniman calls “pure gold” in which everyone on Earth is forced to take part in a worldwide survival competition—everyone, including Meghan Moretti and her three lovably chaotic kids.
In addition to writing and reading, Erin loves games of all sorts, from tabletop RPGs to videogames, although she is rather bad at platformers and hopeless at first-person shooters. She and her husband own enough board games to capsize a standard canoe.
Come hear about Erin's journey as a writer and get your book signed. &nbsp;&nbsp;

Join us to meet Jim Braswell, a Madison County native who embarked on adventure in 2009 that fulfilled a dream. He tells the tale of an amateur fossil enthusiast and paleontologist who grew up looking for fossils in the Huntsville area and ultimately found one of the world's most popular dinosaurs -- a Triceratops! This story does not end with finding the dinosaur; it only begins with the twist and turns and numerous threads that continue through today. This presentation will seek to provide context to the North Dakota environment 66 million years ago and the challenges posed by the environment today, while illustrating the long and winding road from a fossil to having it reach permanent display.&nbsp;
Jim is an engineer from Georgia Tech, a retiree from Torch Technologies, the current President of the Alabama Paleontological Society and even more of a fossil and dinosaur enthusiast than ever before!&nbsp;

The establishment of Redstone Arsenal and its post war transition into a rocket center brought tens of thousands of new residents to Huntsville. The city's population ballooned from 13,000 in 1940 to 80,000 in 1960. Huntsville strained to provide housing and an ambitious series of urban renewal projects combined with new suburban developments rapidly changed the city. Gurley Heights, Magnolia Terrace, and McThornmor Acres subdivisions were platted by white and Black entrepreneurs to help ease housing pressures. Come learn about these three National Register neighborhoods and how they offer a glimpse in to 1950s Huntsville.&nbsp;
Presented by&nbsp;Caroline Swope, M.S.H.P., Ph.D., Architectural Historian
This is a lunch-and-learn session, so attendees are encouraged to bring a lunch to enjoy.
