Events & Appearances
Meet James Allen at Local Markets
Most Saturdays through May — and throughout the Iowa market season — you’ll find me set up with books by The Sawdust Sage™ and Seamus Ailin™, along with handcrafted pieces from All En Crafts, LLC. Stop by, say hello, and if you’d like a book personalized, I’m always happy to oblige.
Book Personalization Available at Market Events
Already own one of the books?
Bring it along — I’m always honored to personalize copies when I’m at a market.
