Book Signing with Author Bill Rowen

Description

Join us at SCHS for a book signing with Bill Rowen, author of The Coal Cracker Chronicles – Tall Tales and Letters to Mom, a collection of short stories that paints a portrait of small‑town life while adding a touch of surrealism where the past and fantasy collide. Books available in SCHS gift shop. 

Author Bill Rowan, born in Pottsville, Pennsylvania on a snowy April Fool’s Day long ago, grew up in the heart of the Anthracite coal region during the waning hours of its heyday. From laborer to business executive, memories of his unpredictable journey stirred him to discover a passion for storytelling during the 2020 lockdown. The Coalcracker Chronicles blends certain hard truths of small-town life while adding a touch of surrealism where the past and fantasy collide. As a tribute to his roots, his stories are filled with humor and nostalgia to honor the great spirit of those who spent their lives in the shadow of coal.
