Books on the Green returns to The Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival with Local Authors

What do a Chicago physician, an award-winning author of thrillers set in Texas, and the photographer of one of the world’s most legendary album covers have in common? They are all on the schedule for Books on the Green at The Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival. The Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival will take place this year April 12-14.  As part of the festival, Books on the Green will be located in the front of Town Green Park.

Presenters at the Books on the Green tent will include Shirlene Obuobi, a Ghanaian American cardiologist and romance author who grew up in The Woodlands, Texas; Julia Heaberlin, the internationally bestselling author of six thrillers and former journalist for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, The Dallas Morning News, and The Detroit News; and Kirk Weddle, the photographer behind the lens of the iconic Nirvana Nevermind album cover.

“We are so delighted to once again be a part of The Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival,” said Teresa Kenney, owner of the independent bookshop Village Books, the coordinator of Books on the Green. “The best way to raise a reader is to be a reader, so we want to promote the importance of reading, literacy, and storytelling to the entire family. Books on the Green features authors across genres, including picture and middle grade books, romance, thrillers, and contemporary fiction. In addition, librarians from the Montgomery County Memorial Library System will join us in the tent, so that families can sign up for library cards.”

This year’s schedule will also include a poetry corner to celebrate National Poetry Month, intimate coffee round tables with some of the authors and photographers of Texas’s most stunning coffee table photography books, and The Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival’s first Storytelling Competition with the winner being crowned the festival’s Official Story Weaver.
