‘Hikes’ author attends City of Lakes Book Fair, wraps book tour

Special thanks to Annz’ Books in downtown Chetek, Wis., for hosting the City of Lakes Book Fair on Saturday. Nine authors from west-central Wisconsin, including yours truly, set up tables at the book fair. The book fair wraps up the summer book tour for my last paperback/ebook, Headin’ to the Cabin: Day Hiking Trails of Northwest Wisconsin. Stops included Menomonie, Hudson, Stillwater, Cumberland, Amery, Rice Lake, Siren, Duluth and Chetek – and one more appearance might yet be in the works!

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.
