Micro Books and Brews is an extension of WMRA and Stone Soup Books' Books and Brews, which is an author series focused on discussions with writers from our area, hosted by Mary Katharine Froehlich. The 3 events in this Micro series take place on Wednesday evenings from 7-8pm, with book signing by the author after, in the Rockfish Lounge at the Rockfish Valley Community Center (RVCC).

The featured author for the September event is Leonard M. Adkins, who will be primarily discussing his book Hiking & Traveling the Blue Ridge Parkway. This comprehensive guidebook provides a detailed description of every official National Park Service trail along the Blue Ridge Parkway. But that's just the beginning: veteran hiker Leonard M. Adkins includes information on every trail that touches the parkway, including the Appalachian Trail and other public pathways on national park, state park, national forest, municipal, and private lands, along with citations for the Mountains-to-Sea Trail.

About the author: Leonard M. Adkins has hiked more than 21,000 miles exploring the backcountry areas of North America, Europe, New Zealand and the Caribbean, including 5 traverses of the full length of the Appalachian Trail. An award-winning author, Leonard has 21 other books about hiking in Virginia and hopes to also spotlight two of his most recent publications, Hike Virginia North of US 60, and All About the Appalachian Trail.
