We had such an amazing day with Steve Sheinkin on January 26th, talking about his amazing new book, Undefeated: Jim Thorpe and the Carlisle Indian School Football Team! After two school visits (one at Lummi Nation School and the other at Horizon Middle School), we wrapped up the day with a full-house of 70 people packed in our Fairhaven Readings Gallery for a Lit Live! author visit. Thanks so much to Mr. Sheinkin and all his enthusiastic fans - we hope to see you all back at Village Books very soon!
