Limestone Township Library District is Hosting an Author Visit!

 

The Limestone Township Library District is happy to announce that SciFi author Bill McCormick, aka Mr. McSciFi, is speaking at LTLD on Wednesday, November 8 at 6:30 P.M. 

Bill is a critically-acclaimed and award-winning author. He began writing professionally in 1986 when he worked for Chicago Rocker Magazine in conjunction with his radio show on Z-95 (ABC-FM). He went on to write for several other magazines and later transitioned to blogs.

In 2011, Bill started submitting fictional short stories to various publishers. Much to his surprise, and the consternation of linguists everywhere, they began publishing his efforts, including his Brittle Riders trilogy. Bill has expanded his repertoire to include comic books, graphic novels, and full length novels. Currently, he's penned everything from dystopian nightmares to cuddly children's stories.

Bill will be speaking about his adventures in publishing.
