Stephen J. Cannell Appearace

On March 25, 2010 at 7 p.m., Legacy Books will host a second appearance at our store by Stephen J. Cannell, the man behind THE ROCKFORD FILES, THE A TEAM and dozens of other TV shows. He's introducing his new book, a mystery/thriller. As we learned in January when he first joined us, one of the most fascinating things about this writer is that throughout his career in television (and now as a bestselling author) Mr. Cannell has had dyslexia. As he says on his web site, he has lived with dyslexia his entire life. The site has an inspiring video series in which he explains its misconceptions, challenges and ways to help children with dyslexia. In case you are not familiar with these videos, here is a link: http://www.cannell.com/dyslexia.php
