Kenny Luck was among 25 authors from around the world invited by the Thoreau Society to participate in the signing. "As I sat at the author's table surrounded by the other authors, I thought, 'All of this work and here I am,'" says Luck. "It was kind of surreal and very memorable."

The signing took place at the Masonic Temple in Concord, Mass. "Overall, I was very happy that I attended this event," relates Luck. "The book signing was a success!" says Luck. "I sold a few books, and I think it was good exposure since I received many compliments on the book cover and layout."
