‘Hikes with Tykes’ editor appearing at Northwind Book and Fiber

You can meet more than 20 regional authors, including yours truly, at the Northwind Book and Fiber book fair in Spooner, Wis., on Saturday, July 6. The fair is hosted by Northwind Book and Fiber, an independent bookstore in downtown Spooner. You’ll be able to purchase my books, get them autographed, and chat if you like with many great authors from northwest Wisconsin. The fair runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the bookstore, which is located at 205 Walnut St. in downtown Spooner.

Meet the Author

My name is Rob Bignell. I'm a long-time hiker, journalist and editor. My son Kieran and I have been hiking together for the past decade. Before Kieran, I taught middle school students in New Mexico and Wisconsin, served as an infantryman in the Army National Guard, and worked in newspapers. I've won several journalism awards, from editorial writing to sports reporting. In 2001, The Prescott Journal, which I served as managing editor of, was named Wisconsin’s Weekly Newspaper of the Year. Currently I own and operate an online editing business, Inventing Reality Editing Service. After spending several years in Southern California, my son and I now live in Wisconsin on the scenic Red Cedar River.
