EXETER - Water Street Bookstore is hosting George O'Connor, author of the latest in his Olympians series, Hermes, on Wednesday, Jan. 31 at 5 p.m. for a talk, art demonstration and signing.
George will be available for signing books, taking pictures, or just a meet and greet at 4:30 p.m.. The event has to end sharply at 6 p.m. so if you want a chance to meet him, come a bit early.
Volume 10 of George O'Connor's Olympians series delves into the myth of Hermes, the trickster god. From his infancy, when he bewitches animals and bends them to his will, to his adolescence and adulthood, Hermes' story is wildly entertaining as he brings a little bit of chaos to everything he touches or creates. This series is great for age 8-12.
O'Connor is the author of several picture books, including the New York Times bestseller "Kapow!, Kersplash, and Sally and the Some-thing." His debut graphic novel, "Journey into Mohawk Country," was published by First Second, as was Adam Rapp's "Ball Peen Hammer," which O'Connor illustrated. His series The Olympians includes such titles as Poseidon, Hera, Athena, Hades, and Zeus.
This event is free and open to the public. Please call (603) 778-9731 or visit waterstreetbooks.com for more information.?
