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.
Late Winter & Spring (Now–May)
I am currently scheduled at local markets most Saturdays through May. Specific locations vary week to week. I typically have with me a selection of books by The Sawdust Sage™ and Seamus Ailin™, along with handcrafted items from All En Crafts, LLC.
If you already have a copy of one of my books, you’re always welcome to bring it along — I’m happy to personalize it when I’m at an event.
