FCBF official booksellers:
The 2012 Fox Cities Reads is underway! Pick up a copy of Make the Impossible Possible by Bill Strickland at your local library and join in community-wide discussions about the book. The author will visit the Fox Cities April 16-18 during the Fox Cities Book Festival.
Alice Honeywell is a retired editor who lives with her husband, Booth, in Madison, Wisconsin. A long-distance bicycle tourist, Honeywell has participated in and led week-long tours for the Sierra Club’s National Outings program and other groups since 1982. In retirement, with the support and encouragement of her family and friends, she was able to live her life-long dream of pedaling across America.
Since completing the BIG trip, she has developed a free-lance career teaching writing workshops, primarily to government and nonprofit groups. She also volunteers for her church and other nonprofits, and she remains a member of Dane County’s Bombay Bicycle Club as she continues to pedal the paved rural roads of dairyland in southern Wisconsin. She is always planning the next adventure, hoping that her grandchildren will be soon able to join her.
She will be presenting "Across America by Bicycle: Alice and Bobbi's Summer on Wheels" with Bobbi Montgomery.

In this session, Honeywell and Montgomery speak about both the adventure they undertook to pedal across the United states and also the process of collaborating on writing the book that grew out of the adventure. Themes include the joys of trip planning, discovering America slowly, "up close and personal," living simply, enjoying the generosity of strangers, and deepening their own friendship as they faced a number of challenges together.
