Cabin Coffee Shop in Amery, Wis., hosts meet-the-author event

A special thank you to the Cabin Coffee Shop in Amery, Wis., for hosting my meet-the-author session on Saturday, June 29, 2013. We sold some books, met some great people, and introduced a few others to a great coffee shop. The Amery stop is part of my summer book tour promoting Headin’ to the Cabin: Day Hiking Trails of Northwest Wisconsin, which describes more than a 100 day hiking trails in Ashland, Barron, Bayfield, Burnett, Douglas, Polk, St. Croix, Sawyer and Washburn counties, including several in the Amery area. Missed the Amery stop? No worries. 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.

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.
