Clay C. Weill at the AGdR Press display during last year's Louisiana Book Festival (2025). This year's location is Table 31 on Museum Walkway; the B7 sign in the photo is from last year.
A magical adventure is one thing. Getting dinner on the table by six is another. In Clay Weill’s latest novel, Dreamwriter, Su Smith has to contend with both.
Readers can meet the author behind Su’s story at the Louisiana Book Festival on Saturday, October 31. Clay C. Weill will join AGdR Press at Table 31 on Museum Walkway, starting at 9 AM.
For readers discovering Clay’s fiction, Dreamwriter is a story about an extraordinary calling arriving in the middle of an already demanding life. His other books include The Bread Will Rise and Conversations Over Green Tea and Iced Hot Chocolate. Browse Clay’s books before the festival, or learn more about his publisher at AGdR Press.
