BLACK DOG BOOKS will be hosting two authors pertaining to Ireland during the book crawl:  Rosalyn Crowley, 11-4 on  Saturday, March 21st and Diane Hartman, 11-3 on Sunday, March 22nd.  See separate postings on these events.)

Come meet local Irish author and artist ROSALEEN CROWLEY, 11-4, Saturday, March 21st, during day 3 of the INDY INDIE BOOK CRAWL.  Rosaleen will be signing copies of her poetry books:  Of Land and Poetry:  Ireland (poems written in Ireland about Ireland), Point of Connection, Point of Perception and Be Prepared to be Luminous.  She has written and illustrated the books.  Most of the illustrations come from her paintings.

Come meet DIANE HARTMAN, (who recently wrote Getting Lost on my Way:  Self-Discovery on Ireland's Backroads), 11-3, Sunday, March 22nd at Black Dog Books.
