Check out this great article about one of our events from [GlobalTravelUSA]!

Thanks John Wroblewski!

It’s not unusual for me to take the short walk to Sketchbook Brewing Company for for music, trivia or simple relaxation with excellent local brews. Last Saturday, Alley Chats Micro Con was a new experience.

We are thrilled to announce Kasia Nowak as an Attending Author at the Local Author Book Fair at Mikerphone Brewing!

Hi! I’m Katherine Nowak, but I go by Kasia. I was born in Chicago, but raised in a Polish household. My passion for writing began the moment I was given my first dream journal in the second grade. And ever since, its pages were filled with daily entries, short stories, poems, letters, and even detailed travel lists. Fantasy has always been my favorite genre, and I have longed to write a fairy story of my own. Thus, I've officially dubbed myself as the 'Scribe of the Fae.'

When I’m not busy jotting down new ideas in my sketchbook, I can usually be found curled up with a good book, trying to beat video games to 100% completion, playing on my typewriter named Geoffrey, or daydreaming about visiting the places I wrote about.

The Stolen River is my debut novel in the Iris Aqua series, with the next installment, By Sleight of Wing, coming later in 2026.

We are thrilled to announce Jamie Lynn Miller as an Attending Author at the Local Author Book Fair at Mikerphone Brewing!
Jamie has been writing fiction since childhood and decided to take the plunge and go pro in 2008, finding to her amazement that people truly enjoyed her love stories. Jamie is a romantic at heart, and her tales reflect the desire we all have to find “the one,”persevering through trials and heartache for that happy ending.

Jamie has a degree in fine arts and has spent the last twenty-five years working as a graphic designer, though she’d much rather be writing. Jamie was born in Chicago and still lives there today with her husband and their furry, four-footed children, er… cats.
