‘Hikes’ author wraps up summer book tour at Redbery Books

Reading at Redbery Books

Thanks to Redbery Books for hosting Meet the Author on Sunday in Cable, Wis. During the event – which featured 10 Northwoods authors – I read from my forthcoming book of hiking essays, “Trails and Trials: Journeys of a Father and Son.” The event wraps up my summer book promotional tour for Headin’ to the Cabin: Day Hiking Trails of Northwest Wisconsin. Here are photos from the event.

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.
