Author Daniel Blumberg to speak at Alachua County library headquarters

Daniel Blumberg, the author of The Rise & Fall of MechaniKalle will discuss and read from the book at the library on Saturday, April 21, at 2:30 p.m.

Kalle Talbot has always wanted to be a superhero. When her sixteenth birthday passes without her developing any powers, she decides to create her own power armor suit. Follow Kalle as she grows as a hero, all while attempting to keep things from blowing up around her.

“Daniel Blumberg is incredibly imaginative and original,” writes one reviewer. “Great premise. Refreshing to see a self-made superhero.”

Blumberg has lived in the Gainesville, Florida, area since 1980 and enjoys fantasy and sci-fi. This is his second published book. Two to three times a month, he works to save the world in weekly pen and paper superhero games.

His talk is part of the ongoing Local Author Series, sponsored by the Alachua County Library and Writers Alliance. Join Blumberg at the downtown library in Meeting Room A, fourth floor.
