SUMMARY:Anderson's Bookshop Presents Travis Deverell (Shirtaloon)

There will be no presentation or Q&A with the author. The line will form in numbered order with the following guidelines: \n\nPosed photo with your camera taken by our staff\nThere is a limit of 2 books from home to be signed (unless otherwise stated)\nThere is a limit of 1 personalization (unless otherwise stated)\n\nThe “Order Line Number” on your pdf ticket is your reserved place in the signing line. You will line up to meet the author based on that number. \nIf you cannot attend\, you must pick up your book (if included with ticket) at the hosting store within 30 days of the event.  We can ship that book to you for an additional charge of $9.99; please call the store to arrange that. \nPre-registration is required for this event because space is limited. \nMore about He Who Fights With Monsters\, Book 1: Outworlder: \n“Exciting\, hilarious\, irreverent\, and action-packed.” —Matt Dinniman (New York Times bestselling author of Dungeon Crawler Carl) \nSurvive an alternate universe and jump into the first installment of the witty and magic-fueled HE WHO FIGHTS WITH MONSTERS series—now with a bonus short story exclusive to this deluxe hardcover edition. \nWhat’s it like to wake up in a mysterious world of magic and monsters? \nIt’s not easy. \nFor Jason\, making the career jump from office-supplies-store middle manager to heroic interdimensional adventurer is surreal. Jason tries to be heroic\, but it’s hard to be good when all your powers are evil. \nHe’ll face off against cannibals\, cultists\, wizards\, monsters…and that’s just on the first day. \nJason’s a stranger in a strange land\, and if he’s going to survive\, he’ll have to find something inside himself he never knew was there. \nHe’s going to need courage\, he’s going to need wit\, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first\, he’s going to need pants. \nExperience the start of this legendary million-copy best-selling LitRPG epic where a snarky underdog takes on everything from corrupt aristocrats to literal gods in HE WHO FIGHTS WITH MONSTERS\, Book 1: OUTWORLDER. \nAbout the series: An isekai culture clash is unleashed as a laid-back Australian finds himself in a very serious world. See him gain suspiciously evil powers through a unique progression system combining cultivation and traditional LitRPG elements. Enjoy a weak-to-strong story with a main character who earns his power without overshadowing everyone around him\, with plenty of loot\, adventurers\, gods and magic.

SUMMARY:Two Way Street Coffee House Presents Patty & Craig
DESCRIPTION:WELCOME TO THE TWO WAY STREET COFFEE HOUSE FRIDAY NIGHT SERIES!\n\n\n\n\nTwo Way Street Coffee House is Chicagoland’s most beloved folk and acoustic music venue\, presenting weekly concerts and community events for over 50 years!  The show starts at 8pm (CT) and the doors open at 7:30pm. (Suggested donation $10).  We will also host this concert virtually.  You may access the livestream on www.twowaystreet.org\, on our Facebook page or on our YouTube channel. \n\n\n\n\nOn Friday\, July 17\, 2026 Two Way Street Coffee House Friday Night Concert Series presents Patty & Craig.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFEATURED ARTIST\n\n\n\n\nPatty & Craig are the kind of folk performers who remind us why people fall in love with this music in the first place. Their beautifully blended voices\, thoughtful songwriting\, and decades-long musical partnership create an evening filled with warmth\, authenticity\, and the timeless spirit of folk tradition. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nARTIST BIO\n\n\n\n\n\nDescribed as genuinely talented with classic folk voices\, Patty & Craig (Patty Stevenson and Craig Siemsen) are fresh off the success of their most recent recording\, Look to the Moon\, that landed as the #3 top album for the September 2025 FAI international folk DJ charts. The featured song\, Love\, Surround Me\, also hit #3\, and Patty & Craig were at the #4 top artist spot for that month. Though released in September\, Look to the Moon was in the top 50 most played folk recordings around the world for all of 2025. \nPatty and Craig were individually ‘out there’ enjoying their music\, when\, in the mid – 1980s\, they met while performing at a folk music festival. For many years\, the couple maintained solo careers\, even after they married. Eventually\, with the prodding of wise friends\, they agreed to perform one show as a duo. The rest\, as they say\, is history. Today\, they continue to create and record original songs as well as their own variations on timeless pieces that often span the ages of creativity in sound. \nPatty & Craig tour the Midwest and beyond\, including an upcoming appearance at the Woodstock Folk Festival\, Black Hawk Folk Festival\, and the Shawano Folk Festival this summer\, and a fall east coast tour. Their work includes four solo and three duo recordings\, as well as guest appearances on others’ projects. \nEnjoy the celebration of life and love with veteran song masters Patty Stevenson and Craig Siemsen.
