He really took his time to make sure the people in the signing line had a great experience.

It was a great way to promote the festival and it was much appreciated.” — West Virginia Book Festival, 2023

“I don’t know where to start but I want to let you know how much we enjoyed Kent. Christie, you told me he was a wonderful person and I couldn’t agree with you more. He is so down to earth, outgoing, can talk with anyone (and he does) funny, engaging, charismatic, adaptable, attentive, considerate, energetic and the list could go on and on. Besides the staff all I have heard Thursday night, Friday and today on my phone how much everyone enjoyed him and that he was so approachable. Thank you again for recommending him. It was our privilege having him here!” — Richardson Reads
