Winter Wonder Words! Join Bako’s busiest novelist and more at Russo’s on December 8!

here's going to be a magical winter evening at Russo's Books at the Marketplace on December 8. December is my favorite month. And so I've been looking forward to putting together an event that fits a whimsical and merry holiday theme. “Winter Wonder Words” will include Christmas music from Bakersfield High School and local musicians, and will
be followed by a reading of the holiday children's story, “The December Scribe” by me (Nick Belardes). I've been working on a special Winterland story, one very different if you ever read my tale “The Blimperwhirls,” which is set in a futuristic North Pole. No, this story isn't about Santa and his elves, but rather about a character who absolutely loves the month of December so much that he scribbles all his magical memories into a book. “The December Scribe” is for fans of Harry Potter and lovers of “A Christmas Carol.” There's even a magician or two in the story. Music will be provided by the BHS carolers who will perform at 7 p.m., followed by Christmas music from Landen Belardes and special guests. The reading of “The December Scribe” will follow the music event. Chairs will fill up fast, and yes, I will be promoting my book of oddities “Random Obsessions” (2009) as the perfect stocking stuffer for socks filled with weird items. This event is part of the “Random Obsessions: Trivia You Need To Know” book tour. What: Winter Wonder Words Where: Russo's Books at the Marketplace When: Tuesday, December 8, 7-9 p.m. Cost: Free
