Former
Middletown author returns
Author Lisa Stively Fulscher will be
on hand in Middletown to autograph her book Saturday, October 11,
2008, from 1 to 3 pm at the Knapp Library, 101 S. Clinton,

 The
book titled "My Guardian Angel: From Heaven Above" is a delightful
3" x 3" book, beautifully illustrated and published in 2008. It is
based on Psalm 91 from the Holy Bible, the new International
version: 1984, by the International Bible Society, and is for
children ages 2 to 8 years.
The author, Lisa, lives with her husband, Michael Fulscher, a
Middletown native, and their daughter, Natalie, in Iowa. She will
autograph copies of her book, on sale for $6.99 each, at the Knapp
Library from 1 to 3 p.m. A social occasion is planned for all ages.
Although designated for ages 2
through 8 years, all will find the book thought-provoking and
inspiring.
