FORT WORTH, Texas - Nov. 25, 2013 - PRLog -- Kentucky Book Fair is Kentucky’s premier literary event of the year, drawing over 4000 attendees. Proceeds from the Kentucky Book Fair go to fund school and public libraries and literacy programs across the state. It was a great honor for Sophia and her author father, Lucas McWilliams, to be invited to attend. Sophia signed nearly 150 books for fans who purchased her books.

The father daughter duo will be visiting schools, sharing their story of writing as a team, and hope to inspire and teach students across the state. Lucas McWilliams has already shared his love for writing with several hundred Garrard County students. The Wielders Series, which has benefited from great reviews and testimonials, has five books already published, and several more to come. The series focuses on five friends and their journey through the new world. With magical creatures inhabiting the world, known as Phasers, the friends stick together through everything that happens. Adventures happening daily, the five friends are always on a mission to solve something, go somewhere or simply explore their new surroundings.
