'Hikes with Tykes' guidebooks now on sale at Volume One store

Both editions of my Hikes with Tykes guidebooks are now on sale at the Volume One store in downtown Eau Claire. Volume One, the premier news guide to entertainment and the arts in the Chippewa Valley, boasts an art gallery and store that sells all things “Eau Claire”; it is located at 205 N. Dewey St. Previously, the books have only been available by ordering them online. As a side note, my latest non-hiking book, Love Letters to Sophie's Mom, also is available at the store. Volume One carries a large collection of other Chippewa Valley writers’ books as well.

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.
