The first Hall of Fame, held in September 2019 was a massive success by everyone that attended. The initial 22 inductees Clive Cussler and Stephen King, to local favorites like Marilyn Van Derbur and Helen Thorpe.

2019 Inductee Jill Tietjen reminds budding authors, "Be passionate about what you are writing about. As much work as writing a book is, that is only a small fraction of the marketing effort required.  Passion about the topic is thus very important!"
