Meet 2 local children's authors at Barnes & Noble in Jordan Creek on Sun, Nov. 2nd at 1pm


We've got double the fun for you on Sunday, November 2nd with 2 kids authors doing signings. Both Mandy Corliss, author of the Little Red Puppy books, and Diane Rasmussen, author of Farmer Tom, will be here. It's guaranteed to be boatloads of fun! Stop by and meet them both as well as the little red puppy herself, Stella. About The Little Red Puppy Stella, the cutest little puppy anyone has ever seen, lives in a pet shop and is anxious to find her human parents. One day, the pet shop has a special sale, and Stella meets Alexis and James. Immediately, Stella decides that they are her perfect match, but she is quickly saddened when they leave without her. Alone and confused, Stella listens to the advice of her friend as she struggles to understand what happened. When Alexis and James return for her the next day, Stella is thrilled. However, she soon discovers that finding human parents is not her only problem. Join Stella as she embarks on her journey of self-discovery with two very unlikely allies as they all learn what truly matters in their lives. About Farmer Tom Join Farmer Tom and his wife, Diane, on an adventure where they discover the animals, crops, and activities happening around their small farm. The author's style of lyrical, rhyming verse captures our imagination, while the light-hearted outdoor journey reminds us of the simple joy found in stepping away from our screens to appreciate connections with nature, animals, and ultimately, ourselves. About Mandy Corliss Mandy Corliss is an inquisitive, lifelong learner; always looking to support a friend, family member, or colleague who wants to learn from and find opportunities in life’s situations. Mandy loves animals and as a child longed for one of her own. The Little Red Puppy speaks not only to the realization of that dream, but also how every situation gives us opportunities to reflect, learn, and grow. Mandy is a native of Yonkers, New York, and currently resides in Des Moines, Iowa. About Diane Rasmussen Diane Rasmussen was raised in the American Midwest, and always wanted to live on a farm. Instead, she made do with summer trips to relatives who lived on farms, spending hours exploring the great outdoors with her brothers, captivated by the animals, interesting buildings, and random curiosities of farm life. Over the years, Rasmussen put her vivid imagination to use by entertaining nieces and nephews with creative tales and adventures. Today, Rasmussen enjoys a peaceful life on a small hobby farm outside of Des Moines, Iowa, with her very own Farmer Tom. Their delightful, funny, and occasionally chaotic experiences in the countryside have inspired them to share their stories and green space with many friends and visitors, and now with the world through Diane’s writing. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS This is a live, free event Books must be purchased (in advance or on the day of the event) before they can be signed Photos and videos will be allowed at the authors' discretion Stella is a sweetheart, but please ask permission before petting the dog
