In addition to a fanciful story, Weaver’s book offers an educational experience with carefully embedded advanced vocabulary for kids. Through the context and humor, he said the children will be able to figure out the meaning of the words they’re identifying.
Weaver is no stranger to conjuring rich prose, having spent a large portion of his life copy editing and ghostwriting books. He’s played a role in 15 publications, and has attended and been involved with the Santa Barbara Writers Conference for the past 40 years. He currently serves as one of the conference’s manuscript consultants.
Weaver also devotes his time toward music, whether that includes recording and writing his own songs, or teaching guitar lessons to kids through Blue Ridge Junior Appalachian Musicians.
Those wanting to meet the eclectic musician and author of, “Bill Willy the Wild … Who Isn’t a Boy at All!,” can pop over to Weaver’s book signing from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 19, at The Next Chapter Bookstore, a nonprofit inside Main Street Market. Weaver said he will donate a portion of his book sales to the organization’s cause of assisting and inspiring those with disabilities to reach their full potential for independence.
He encourages people to pick up his book and dive into the adventures of Bill Willy the Wild.
“I hope they have wide grins of joy and happiness at the colorful story,” Weaver said. “And then I hope that they will reflect upon the things that transpire in this story and how it might work into their own lives.”
People can purchase signed copies of the book for $15.95 on Weaver’s website, duskweaver.com/store, or unsigned versions for the same price via Amazon.com.
