Wisconsin’s Northwind Book Fair hosts ‘Hikes with Tykes’ author

Signing a book at the Northwind Book Fair.

Special thanks to Northwind Book and Fiber in Spooner, Wis., for hosting the Northwind Book Fair where 20-plus regional writers (including yours truly) were available to meet with readers to talk about books. I promoted my book Headin’ to the Cabin: Day Hiking Trails of Northwest Wisconsin at the fair; the book features trails in and near Spooner as well as Washburn County.

Missed the book fair? No worries. The Rice Lake (Wis.) Public Library is hosting a book reading/signing on Saturday, July 27, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. The library is located at 2 E. Marshall St., in Rice Lake.

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.
