SUMMARY:Book Signing with Medina P. Dean\, M.Ed.
DESCRIPTION:If you love Kentucky history\, backroads\, old stories\, forgotten places\, and learning how this state became what it is today\, you are going to LOVE this event. \nOn Saturday\, July 11\, we’ll be welcoming Kentucky author Medina P. Dean\, M.Ed. to The Kentucky Bookstore from 11 AM to 2 PM for a special signing featuring her Kentucky Historic Travels series. \nAnd these books are BEAUTIFUL. They’re the kind of books you pick up thinking you’ll glance through a few pages\, then suddenly you’re standing there twenty minutes later reading about frontier taverns\, early settlements\, old roads\, historic sites\, and the people who shaped Kentucky long before any of us were here. \nWhat I love about these books is they make Kentucky history feel alive instead of dusty and boring. You can tell these stories were written by somebody who truly loves this state and wants other people to see the history hiding all around them. \nHonestly\, books like these are exactly why I started The Kentucky Bookstore in the first place. There are so many talented Kentucky authors creating incredible work that people may never discover unless local bookstores help put them in front of readers. \nSo if you love Kentucky history\, genealogy\, road trips\, old buildings\, hidden stories\, or just learning more about the Bluegrass State we all call home\, come spend part of your Saturday with us. Meet Medina Dean\, get your books signed\, and discover a side of Kentucky history you may have never seen before. \nSHOP LOCAL – READ LOCAL \nThe Kentucky Bookstore\n126 South Main – Lawrenceburg\, KY\nProudly serving Central Kentucky — including Lexington\, Versailles\, Frankfort\, Harrodsburg\, Louisville\, and the Bluegrass\nInside Tastefully Delicious\nStore Hours: Tue–Sat 10–6 \n#KentuckyBookstore #KentuckyAuthors #MedinaDean #KentuckyHistory #KentuckyHistoricTravels #BookSigning #KentuckyProud #BluegrassHistory #LawrenceburgKY #LexingtonKY #LouisvilleKY #SupportLocalAuthors #KentuckyRoadTrips #HistoricKentucky #DowntownLawrenceburgKY

SUMMARY:Book Signing with Robert Ernest
DESCRIPTION:I love watching kids get excited about books. Not tablets. Not phones. Actual books. You can always tell when a story grabs them because they stop wandering around the store and suddenly they’re flipping pages\, laughing at pictures\, pointing things out\, and wanting to see more. That’s exactly why I’m excited about this event. \nOn Saturday\, June 27\, we’ll be welcoming Kentucky children’s author Robert Ernest to The Kentucky Bookstore from 11 AM to 2 PM for a special signing featuring his children’s books. These books are colorful\, funny\, creative\, and full of energy. The covers alone will pull kids straight over to the table. They’ve got that fun\, goofy\, playful feel that children’s books are supposed to have. And honestly\, I think kids need more of that again. \nI’ve always believed reading starts with making books feel fun first—no schoolwork\, no assignments. Just fun. When kids meet an author in person\, it changes something. Suddenly books feel real to them. The characters feel real. The imagination behind it feels real. \nAnd I’ll always support Kentucky authors doing that right here in our own state. So bring the kids. Bring the grandkids. Come meet Robert Ernest\, get some signed books\, and let kids discover stories that might just make them fall in love with reading. \nSHOP LOCAL – READ LOCAL \nThe Kentucky Bookstore\n126 South Main – Lawrenceburg\, KY\nProudly serving Central Kentucky—including Lexington\, Versailles\, Frankfort\, Harrodsburg\, Louisville\, and the Bluegrass\nInside Tastefully Delicious\nStore Hours: Tue–Sat 10–6 \n#KentuckyBookstore #KentuckyAuthors #RobertErnest #ChildrensBooks #KidsBooks #BookSigning #KentuckyProud #FamilyFun #LawrenceburgKY #LexingtonKY #LouisvilleKY #SupportLocalAuthors #ReadingMatters #DowntownLawrenceburgKY #KentuckyReads

SUMMARY:Book Signing with Joseph Crabtree
DESCRIPTION:Some books don’t have to scream to stay with you. They just quietly remind you of things you forgot you missed. \nOn Saturday\, June 20\, we’ll be welcoming Kentucky author Joseph Crabtree to The Kentucky Bookstore from 11 AM to 2 PM for a signing featuring his book\, The Kite. \nAnd honestly… this book feels like childhood. The artwork alone stopped me the first time I saw it. It has this soft\, peaceful feeling to it that just makes you want to pick the book up and sit with it awhile. \nAnd the story carries that same feeling. It reminds me of the kind of books people keep long after they read them. The kind grandparents pull back off the shelf years later to read with grandkids. The kind that quietly becomes part of a family. \nI love bringing in Kentucky authors because there are so many good stories being written right here in this state that people may never discover otherwise. Sometimes all a book needs is somebody willing to put it in front of readers and say\, “Hey… this one’s special.” \nI really think The Kite is one of those books. Come spend part of your Saturday with us\, meet Joseph Crabtree\, hear the story behind the book\, and grab a signed copy while he’s here. \nSHOP LOCAL – READ LOCAL\nThe Kentucky Bookstore\n126 South Main – Lawrenceburg\, KY\nProudly serving Central Kentucky — including Lexington\, Versailles\, Frankfort\, Harrodsburg\, Louisville\, and the Bluegrass\nInside Tastefully Delicious\nStore Hours: Tue–Sat 10–6 \n#KentuckyBookstore #KentuckyAuthors #JosephCrabtree #TheKite #BookSigning #KentuckyProud #ChildrensBooks #FamilyStories #LawrenceburgKY #LexingtonKY #LouisvilleKY #SupportLocalAuthors #SouthernStories #DowntownLawrenceburgKY #KentuckyReads \n

SUMMARY:Book Signing with Wes Blake
DESCRIPTION:There’s just something fun about discovering an author BEFORE everybody else does. \nOn Saturday\, June 13\, we’re bringing Kentucky author Wes Blake to The Kentucky Bookstore for a signing of his debut novel\, Pineville Trace\, from 11 AM to 2 PM. \nAnd this book? It’s not your typical small-town Kentucky novel. \nThe first thing that grabbed me was the artwork. It has this strange vintage collage style that makes you stop and look twice. Then you start flipping through the book and realize… okay\, this is REALLY different. \nIt feels mysterious\, artistic\, a little surreal… almost like stepping into somebody’s dream after they drank too much coffee at 2 a.m. in an old movie theater. \nHonestly\, those are the books I love finding the most. The ones that don’t look or feel like everything else sitting on the shelf. \nI also love seeing new authors take that leap and put their work out into the world. That first book is a big deal. Every well-known writer started exactly here… one story\, one signing\, one reader at a time. \nSo if you like unusual fiction\, cool artwork\, creative storytelling\, or just meeting Kentucky authors before everybody else catches on… come see us Saturday. \nAnd yes… signed books just hit different. \nSHOP LOCAL – READ LOCAL\nThe Kentucky Bookstore\n126 South Main – Lawrenceburg\, KY\nProudly serving Central Kentucky — including Lexington\, Versailles\, Frankfort\, Harrodsburg\, Louisville\, and the Bluegrass\nInside Tastefully Delicious\nStore Hours: Tue–Sat 10–6 \n#KentuckyBookstore #KentuckyAuthors #WesBlake #PinevilleTrace #BookSigning #LawrenceburgKY #KentuckyProud #IndieBookstore #LexingtonKY #LouisvilleKY #SouthernReads #BookLovers #SupportLocalAuthors #VintageArt #FictionReads #DowntownLawrenceburgKY \n

SUMMARY:Book Signing with Jan Lawson Schiffer
DESCRIPTION:I am REALLY excited about this one… \nWe’re welcoming Kentucky author Jan Lawson Schiffer to The Kentucky Bookstore for a special book signing on Saturday\, June 6 from 11–2! \nHer book\, Finding the Rest of Me\, is one of those deeply personal stories that stays with you long after you finish it. It’s a heartfelt memoir about adoption\, identity\, family\, and the emotional journey of discovering where you came from and how those missing pieces shape your life. \nWhat makes this story so fascinating is that it also dives into the history of the Friends Rescue Home… a home for unwed mothers that many people have never even heard about. There’s a lot of history\, emotion\, and hope woven through these pages. \nJan now lives in Kentucky and has been getting wonderful attention for this book\, including features by Kentucky writer Steve Flairty and FRANK Magazine. Readers have connected with her honesty\, faith\, and the way she tells such a personal story with so much heart. \nAnd honestly… meeting the authors is one of my FAVORITE parts of having this bookstore. You get to hear the stories behind the stories. \nSo come spend a little time downtown with us\, meet Jan\, get your book signed\, and support a Kentucky author sharing a truly meaningful story. \nSaturday\, June 6\, 2026\n11 AM – 2 PM \nSHOP LOCAL – READ LOCAL\nThe Kentucky Bookstore\n126 South Main – Lawrenceburg\, KY\nInside Tastefully Delicious\nStore Hours: Tue–Sat 10–6\nProudly serving Central Kentucky — including Lexington\, Versailles\, Frankfort\, Harrodsburg\, Louisville\, and the Bluegrass \n#KentuckyProud #KentuckyAuthors #KentuckyBooks #BookSigning #JanLawsonSchiffer #FindingTheRestOfMe #LawrenceburgKY #FrankfortKY #LexingtonKY #LouisvilleKY #ShopLocal #ReadLocal #Memoir #AdoptionStory #SupportKentuckyAuthors #ReadersOfKentucky \n
