Due to COVID-19 Pandemic it is very hard to schedule attendance at these right now. There are two Barnes & Noble book stores in our surrounding area (Newark, Ohio)in which Ms. Bowser will make inquiry as to whether or not she could do a book reading/signing at these stores. Ms. Bowser will also reach out to the Newark Main Library and see if she may do a reading/signing there. Plans for a website for the book are being planned with links to where the book may be purchased. Also plan on advertising on Facebook, and Instagram.
A website for the book “The Dedicated Dancer” with links to where the book may be purchased will be created. along with an Author Video for the web site.
The author is a member of the Ohio Historical Society and will seek to get information to group members. Ms. Bowser will also seek memberships with the Newark Historical Society and also Daughters of the Revolution, as her mother and aunt were members of the DAR.
