Mindee Arnett
Sixteen-year-old Dusty Everhart is a
Nightmare. Literally. Being the only
Nightmare at Arkwell Academy, a
boarding school for magickind is hard
enough, but when Dusty sneaks into Eli
Booker’s house, things get a whole lot
more complicated. Eli is dreaming of a
murder. Then Eli’s dream comes true.
In The Nightmare Affair (ages
12-16), Dusty has to follow the clues—
both within Eli’s dreams and out of them—to stop the killer
before more people turn up dead...and before the killer learns
what she’s up to and marks her as the next target. Mindee Arnett

James Jessen Badal
From 1934 to 1938 a nameless phantom
named the “Mad Butcher” littered Cleveland with the remains of dismembered
corpses. Never caught or even officially
identified, the Butcher simply faded into
history, leaving behind a legend that both
haunts and fascinates Cleveland to this
day. Badal’s In the Wake of the Butcher:
Cleveland’s Torso Murders recounts this
dark chapter in true crime history. His
second work, Though Murder Has No Tongue: The Lost Victim
of Cleveland’s Mad Butcher, is a study of the arrest and mysterious death of the only man ever charged with the killings. Badal
now concludes his examination of the case with Hell’s Wasteland: The Pennsylvania Torso Murders, looking at similar murders that took place just across Ohio’s state line. [Table 13]

strip rounding into the form that will carry
it into its middle years. With gentle humor
and not-so-gentle puns, Les, Funky, Crazy Harry, and the gang comment on life’s little absurdities. Batiuk has been recognized for his

by the comic sequence which portrays character Lisa Moore’s battle
with breast cancer, collected in the book, Lisa’s Story. [Table 1]

the Buckeye State. The second volume, The
Bully Boys: In Camp and Combat with
the 2nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry Regiment, 1861-1864 focuses on the very first regiment to heed the
call to arms and leave for the scenes of conflict. The 244 collected
letters presented in Fractured Paths of Duty: The Civil
War Letters of Surgeon J. Dexter Cotton and Adjutant George B. Turner tell the story of their regiment—a
valuable contribution since no formal history has been published
before about the 92nd Ohio Volunteers. [Table 42]

for The Columbus Dispatch while earning
a doctoral degree in English Literature at
OSU. A Killing in the Hills is her
powerful, intricate fictional debut, featuring a mother and daughter trying to do
right by a town and by each other before
it’s too late. Carla Elkins, daughter of Bell
Elkins, the prosecuting attorney for Raythune County, WV, is a witness to the killing of three elderly men
at a local café. When mother and daughter collaborate to solve the
crime, will their own lives be put in danger? Bell’s new case in Bitter River is a bad one: when a pregnant teenager’s body is found
at the bottom of Bitter River, Bell has some searching to do when it
turns out the teenager didn’t die from drowning. [Table 20]
The character of Johnny Appleseed
stands apart from other frontier heroes
like Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone,
who employed violence against Native
Americans and nature to remake the
West. Creating a startling new portrait
of the eccentric apple tree planter, William Kerrigan carefully dissects the oral
tradition of the Appleseed myth and
draws upon material from archives and
local historical societies across New England and the Midwest.
Johnny Appleseed and the American Orchard is more
than a biography of John Chapman and the story of the Johnny
Appleseed legend, it is a compelling history of life on the frontier. Kerrigan is a professor of American History at Muskingum
University in New Concord, Ohio. [Table 34]

animal photography. During the rainy season, when the river rises,
The Good Ship Crocodile (ages 4-8) helps many creatures
cross to the other side, but when the rain stops and the river dries
up, it is the crocodile who needs help getting home. Young readers
and lighthearted adults will love Pat’s amusing poems in If You
Were a Chocolate Moustache (ages 8+). [Table 45]
Lisa Klein
While in London, Will Shakespeare meets
Meg, a tavern maid who pretends to be
Mack, a boy thief. In Love Disguised
(ages 13-17), mistaken identities, love
triangles, and comic villainy combine in a
lively drama that could have sprung from
Shakespeare’s own pen. Lisa Klein lives in
Columbus and is a former English professor. Shakespeare also influences her novel
Ophelia (ages 13-17), and the follow-up,
Lady Macbeth’s Daughter (ages 13-17). In Klein’s historical novels,
Cate is banished to Roanoke Island in Cate of the Lost Colony (ages
12-16), and cousins find themselves on opposing sides in Two Girls
of Gettysburg (ages 12-16). [Table 12]

Orient Express, involves the murder
of the owner of a new Chinese restaurant.
Josie Giancola, of Button Holed and Hot
Button, knows her buttons. But in Panic Button when she
comes into contact with a rare charm string, she never imagines it
will lead to murder. Chili Con Carnage launches another new

Promise of Blood is the first installment in The Powder Mage Trilogy, and
it opens in the aftermath of a bloody
coup fought with guns and magic.
Although Tamas’ coup brought bread to
the starving, it also provoked war with
the Nine Nations, internal attacks by
royalist fanatics, and greedy scrambling for money and power by
Tamas’ supposed allies. Promise of Blood takes a thrilling look at
politics, kingdoms, and the retribution that falls swiftly on broken
promises. [Table 33]
Ali Maier
A sister and brother, forced to write during the summer, and share one journal?
Ugh! This is exactly what happens to
10-year-old twins Maggie and Max when
Mom comes up with a plan for the twins
to keep a summer journal. Through their
writing, Maggie and Max find out they
have very different (and hilarious) views
about growing up, family, and life—a
conclusion they only discovered because,
as Max and Maggie say: Mom Made Us Write This in
the Summer (ages 8-12). Ali Maier lives in Strongville and her
journal-style book captures the loving (and not-so-loving) relationship between close siblings and their family. [Table 39]
Mindy McGinnis
From teen librarian and debut author
Mindy McGinnis comes Not a Drop
to Drink (ages 14+), the story of a
not-so-hard to imagine future in which
water is more sacred than gold and
one girl who will do whatever it takes

smoke appear on the horizon, it can
only mean one thing to Lynn and her
mother: strangers. Will the strangers be
a threat to Lynn’s own survival, or might they join forces to work
together? Lynn’s dangerous and romantic journey for survival in a
frontier-like world will leave readers breathless. Mindy is a graduate of Otterbein University and, having grown up near the woods,
she always wondered if she could survive out there on her own if
the situation ever presented itself. [Table 20]

Orphan Meg Fellowes makes her living
picking pockets—until she steals from the
wrong nobleman. Instead of being sent
to prison as she expected, she’s whisked
away to the court of Queen Elizabeth and
pressed into royal service in the Maids of
Honor, the Queen’s secret society of protectors. Before long, Meg’s investigations
uncover the Queen’s own secrets, and at the
same time, she finds herself growing attracted to the Spanish courtier she is tailing. Danger is lurking around every corner in Maid
of Secrets (ages 13-17), and Meg will be forced to choose among
protecting the crown, her heart, or her own life. [Table 35]
Karen’s interest in history was sparked
in grade school with field trips to Indian
mounds and to the Ohio Historical Society. She enjoys sharing her excitement
about Ohio’s early settlers in her historical
mysteries (all are for ages 9-12). Missing
at Marietta is the first of Karen’s Mysteries
of the Ohio Frontier. Rachel’s change from
wilderness-hater is an exciting journey
through early Ohio in Whispers at
Marietta. In the first book of the Settlers of the Ohio Frontier

Identifying and Feeding Birds and
Hummingbirds and Butterflies, Bird
Homes and Habitats helps homeowners enhance their backyards even
more with advice on how to provide
shelter and nests for birds. It’s easy
enough to hang a birdfeeder, but there

birds to a landscape—and, in fact, birds
need four essentials: food, water, shelter, and a place to nest. The
more of these elements a yard has, the more attractive it is to birds.
Bill is the longtime editor of Bird Watcher’s Digest and he lives in rural Whipple, Ohio. His new field guide to Midwestern Birds

Franklin Inventions (ages 6-10) gives
young readers a comprehensive look at
the man who gave us the lightning rod,
the harmonica, bifocals, the post office, the first public library, and
so much more. Carmella Van Vleet lives in Lewis Center and loves
science and history and will also sign Explore Ancient Greece and
Seven Wonders of the World (also for 6-10). [Table 38]

Geoff Williams
The storm began March 23, 1913, with
a series of tornadoes. Then the rains
started and the flooding began. It continued for days. It was the nation’s most
widespread flood ever. Geoff details
the incredible story of the flood—its
destruction, its heroes and victims, and
how it shaped America’s natural disaster
policies—in Washed Away: How
the Great Flood of 1913,
America’s Most Widespread Natural Disaster,
Terrorized a Nation and Changed It Forever. A longtime newspaper reporter and journalist, Williams lives less than an
hour away from the Great Flood’s epicenter in Dayton. [Table 27]
James A. Willis
When it comes to chronicling the
haunted history and supernatural mysteries of Ohio, there is no author more
knowledgeable on the subject than James
Willis, founder of The Ghosts of Ohio,
a paranormal research organization.
The spirits of Native Americans, Civil
War soldiers, and alcohol-smuggling
gangsters are just a few of the undead supernatural entities that still roam Ohio.
The Big Book of Ohio Ghost Stories offers an eclectic
mix of more than 75 of the best, most spine-tingling accounts of
Ohio hauntings. Strange people and unusual sites abound in the
Buckeye State and make up every page of Weird Ohio, the biggest,
most bizarre collection of Ohio stories ever assembled! [Table 19]
Doyle Yoder
Doyle Yoder lives in Millersburg and has
been photographing the Holmes County
sights and citizens for over 25 years. A
self-taught photographer, his new Amish
Country Calendar 2014 offers
breathtaking scenes of Ohio’s Amish
community. Doyle’s 1,000-piece jigsaw
puzzles are fun for the whole family, ages
12 and up. Colorful Curve features
breathtaking fall scenery while Working
on the Farm shows a lovely winter scene. Hanging dresses up to dry
under the grape vine is a convenient location in the Clothes Vine
image. Stutzman’s Crossing Covered Bridge is a new bridge, named
after Holmes County’s first Amish settler Jonas Stutzman. A farmer
returns home in Milk Hack and Master’s Bouquet captures a twoseated buggy passing a majestically grown rose bush. [Table 8]
Buckeye Book Fair
Supports Literacy in Ohio
The annual Buckeye Book Fair brings Ohio authors together with the reading public and raises money for libraries
and adult literacy programs. Created as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit
organization, Buckeye Authors’ Book Fair Committee Inc
was incorporated in 1987. From providing seed money
for programs designed to foster and encourage a love of
reading, to providing funds for enhancing and updating
book collections in classrooms and libraries, the Buckeye
Book Fair has awarded $205,491.96 in 256 grants since
its inception.
Literacy Grants Awarded
Six literacy grants totaling $3,000 are being spent by
Ohio schools and libraries at this year’s Fair. Last year’s
grants were awarded at the November 3, 2012 Buckeye
Book Fair. The recipients were:
• Crestview High School (Ashland)
• Slate Hill Elementary (Columbus)
• Wayne High School (Huber Heights)
• Clark County Juvenile Detention Center (Springfield)
• Northern Local Elementary Schools (Thornville)
• Franklin Township 6th grade students (Wooster)
Apply for a Grant
Librarians and literacy program administrators may inquire at the Book Fair Information Table to receive a 2014
grant application. Grants of $500 in books are awarded to
enhance book collections; or gift certificates totaling $500
are awarded to individuals of classrooms and literacy programs for the promotion of reading.
Why Is There an Admission Charge?
The Buckeye Book Fair has certain fixed expenses that
must be met each year. Your $2 admission helps offset
these costs so that more funds can be made available for the
Buckeye Book Fair’s grants for literacy program.
No Strollers or Home Books
In order to keep aisleways clear, please do not bring baby
strollers into the Book Fair.
Patrons will NOT be permitted to enter the Book Fair
with books brought from home to be signed. To keep the
lines moving for paying customers whose purchases make
the Book Fair possible, only books sold during the Book
Fair will be signed by authors.
Thank you for your understanding.
