  • Author Illustrator Fair 2016 Kathryn Allen Is a Children's Author Who
    Author Illustrator Fair 2016 Kathryn Allen is a children’s author who writes diverse, interactive books for babies and young children about topics like nonverbal communication, manners, and love. Show Me Happy and A Kiss Means I Love You are my most recent. With Eric Futran’s delightful photos of children communicating in many different ways, they have received wonderful reviews from School Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, and Kirkus Reviews. Josef Bastian is Midwest author and poet whose sense of humor, depth of spirit and reflective imagination resonate within his poetry and prose. Josef currently has more than a dozen books in print that focus on the power of storytelling for people of all ages. His current projects include the Nain Rouge Trilogy – A Crimson Three, that resurrects a 300-year folk legend from Detroit. Josef has also launched Folkteller Publishing, a storytelling company that targets regional folk tales and legends from around the world. The author’s career spans 40 years in Information Technologies where providing documentation and training was a major part of developing applications. During this time, the author found the success of any applications was highest when the materials were tailored to the audience. The author found this is also a major factor in writing fiction and tailors his writing to the type of material he likes to read. In fiction, this includes interesting, action-packed adventures, with a historical bent, and chapters that tend to end as cliffhangers. This keep-it-interesting principle applies to the production of non-fiction. Create interest by being able to find a niche market, fill a demand, and meet a need.
