Today's featured speaker was John Wemlinger, author of "Winter's Bloom," a self-published novel based on "bits and pieces" of his life.
 
John spent many years in the Army, including a stint in Viet Nam as a helicopter pilot. His book is a celebration of veterans--especially Viet Nam vets--and of family. John brought signed copies of his book and read passages from the book illustrating these themes. He also explained how self-publication works, noting that it is not difficult for a self-publisher to get on Amazon (as he has done).
