Tomorrow, June 18th, kicks off the Gettysburg Festival in Gettysburg, PA – My home town.  The town will be booming until the 27th, with visual and performing artist celebrities being brought in from far and wide.  A very special part of the activities has been named The Gettysburg Fringe Festival, to highlight visual artists, performers, and authors from the Gettysburg area – and, I’m proud to say, we have many.  The sponsors have been kind enough to ask that I participate, and thanks to my publicist and promoter, Victory Lane Creative Works, I have numerous appearances scheduled during the festival.
I’ll have a chance to meet folks and talk about Lincoln and his time in Gettysburg, as well as acquaint them with my most recent novel, The Gettysburg Conspiracy. If you follow my ramblings on this blog you know that this novel is a fictional story about a plot to assassinate Lincoln during his stay in Gettysburg and his famous address. Below is a schedule of the “Face to Face with Will Hutchison” appearances.  I would love to see you, so please come on down.  There will be tons of festivities to join in, great food, good wine, and amazing fun.  Also, please tell me if you saw this on my blog.  It’s always nice to know folks are actually reading it  ;-)

FACE TO FACE WITH WILL HUTCHISON

Will Hutchison returns to the Festival with his

newest novel in the award-winning Ian Carlyle series:

“A brilliant alternate vision of history.  The author’s meticulous research stands out in this fast moving, authentically framed novel.   The reader is left wondering if it could really have happened in this way.”

-  Editor, The Gettysburg Times

You will not want to miss this opportunity to discuss with the author different perspectives and consequences of a plot that threatens Lincoln’s life.

The year is filled with exciting events, including book signings, book fairs, talks at various collectors groups and Civil War Round Tables, a photography project at the Gettysburg National Park, a book tour in the United Kingdom (May 1 – 16), and taking part in the Gettysburg Festival (June 18-27).  In addition, Civil War Round Tables have asked that I present my most recent talk, “Relax Men, It’s Only the President! – Lincoln’s Approach to Personal Security,” on several dates in 2011.

I’m looking forward to two full years of book promotion, rich with opportunities to talk to folks about the Crimean War, the American Civil War, Gettysburg, and Abraham Lincoln.  It appears the most difficult part will be finding the time to research and write the third novel in the Ian Carlyle Series, “The Ear Collector,” and work on publishing an extraordinary diary of a Crimean War Scots Fusilier Guards soldier – a project long overdue.
