BAIPA member John Cammidge, aka author Jonathan R. Husband has been invited to participate in Book Passage’s Small Business Saturday on November 28. He will be available from 10:00am until noon to talk about his 2014 novel An Unplanned Encounter (kindly edited by BAIPA member Linda Jay) and will also answer questions regarding Book Passage’s “Path to Publishing Program,” headed by Sam Barry.
Kirkus Reviews summarized An Unplanned Encounter as “a study in the way war can drastically change people’s lives, even for those who never see action. It is a penetrating look at how different people respond to crisis.”
BAIPA members are welcome to come and meet with John and other authors who are participating in this event at Book Passage, and learn about independent merchants in their community, including self-published authors!


One of my favorite things about BAIPA is its culture of generosity, the willingness — even eagerness — to share what we have each learned in the process of bringing stories to life. We provide educational programs, networking, marketing opportunities, encouragement, and information on industry vendors and services. And lots of one-on-one advice and mentoring.
We welcome all who have an interest in making connections within the world of independent publishing and learning more about how to publish and sell their work successfully. Together we are raising the standard of independent publishing and helping our members thrive.
Do join us!
—Becky Parker Geist, BAIPA Board of Directors, President
