May 29th, 2021, The Lone Star Book Festival in Seguin, Texas is ON!

 




Howdy & Happy New Year! 

 

While we still recover from the COVID19 pandemic, we are looking forward to getting back out there and meeting our fans, and participating in new and exciting ventures.  Our Twitter account is @LoneStarBF You can also, use the hashtag #LoneStarFestival and #SeguinTexas in your postings. 

 

The Lone Star Festival is still on target to happen on May 29, 2021. We have created the first round of social media images both in GIF and JPG that are attached and ready for you to begin using.  Let’s build towards a great event and getting people out on Memorial Day weekend for some FREE fun so they can buy up your books. 

 

Just a quick recap, we are still planning a Friday night reception on May 28th, we will post more information on the website as we get it more finalized. 


The Saturday event is currently scheduled from 9 AM – 4 PM.  I will be sending out notices to the authors in March or April to arrange book readings of 45-minute sessions each.  We will have three categories, Fiction, Non-Fiction, and Children’s.  A separate area is already established for those readings. 


We are still looking for musicians to play outside in the patio area during the event.  Having music inside would only cause sound issues that we have seen to not work well when authors are talking about their books. 


We are working on providing lunch on that day and will keep you advised as it gets closer. 


Don't forget, there is a host hotel, and a link to other hotels, B&B's, etc. on this page: Host Hotel (bookfestival.network)


 

If you have any questions, please let us know. 


Cheers,

What does being Open Mindful mean to you???

Image
Liberal and Open Minded to me almost seem to be pseudonyms. I would guess it could be possible to be conservative and open minded, just in my eyes those two ideals seem to be juxtaposed. What in my upbringing and brain, elicits this open minded worldly outlook, and positive, friendly mindset??? It could have either been my parental affluent hippie 60's upbringing or perhaps my University Liberal Arts Education, or yet again my 5 full years of daily life in Manhattan and the mecca that is New York City. What does being Liberal and Open Minded mean to you?? Personally I think of it as being accepting of many different lifestyle choices and varieties. For example, I am pro choice and pro abortion for women before the 2nd trimester. I am pro gay marriage, for both male and female sexes. Being a Free Speech & Born here American, I also believe in the freedom of style, culture, home location, choices in dating, restaurants, music, culture, movies, music and all. Anythi

People and their PETS.

Image
In the style of Jerry Seinfeld, " What's the deal with people and their pets? Dogs especially. What is the mass human attraction to dogs as pets? What in the minds and soul attracts humans to caring for, paying, walking and being an owner for these animals? Please help me understand . I mean, in my humble opinion, the negatives for dogs are, they can't talk with humans. A dog will never be able to speak and converse with their owner. Also they must constantly be cared for, bathed, walked, fed, leashed, cleaned up after and more. What joy do these dogs and animals bring? In addition dogs cause destruction to real estate, & are tough to constantly care for. They also smell and are not universally loved or accepted by guests. Am I not being OPEN MINDFUL to dogs and pets? If so please share their positives for me. I am not perfect, and can recognize mistakes and being wrong. Some perhaps better alternatives to dogs, are, ready, friends, girlfriends, significant o

How are we ENTERTAINED?

Image
DO you like to be entertained? IF your human, most people do and enjoy laughter, muses, lights and more. Just like the Kings and Jesters of yesteryear, in the modern age, we love ENTERTAINMENT too! Are you OPEN MINDFUL to different forms on entertainment? Which are your favorites? For example, off of the top of my head, I can think of books, live music, movies, television, broadway shows, bars & nightclubs, restaurants, stores, shopping malls, stand up comics, vacations, social media, friends, and the such. Am I leaving your favorite form out? Personally, I am open minded to various forms of entertainment. I love tv, live music, and nightlife. Yet, as the entertainment field changes and morphs, could be up for anything fresh? What are your favorite forms? Do you abstain from entertainment? Could this even be possible? In so as fas as an industry, would ENTERTAINMENT be fun to work in? Recently a fellow local Austinite, mentioned, I should try out ACTING for a year. It wa
