The Cowgirl Way, July 2010

Books of Wonder, at 18 West 18th Street in Manhattan, is pleased to announce that on Sunday, August 1st we will be hosting a reading by HOLLY GEORGE WARREN with a special performance by her musician/​husband ROBERT BURKE WARREN also known as UNCLE ROCK. The author, HOLLY GEORGE WARREN, will be on hand to present The Cowgirl Way: Hats off to America’s Women of the West – a fascinating account of an ever-evolving American icon: the cowgirl. Featuring nimble equestriennes, hawkeyed sharpshooters, sly outlaws, expert wranglers, and talented performers who made eyes pop and jaws drop with their skills, savvy and bravery, The Cowgirl Way invites readers to saddle up with these trailblazers, who helped settle the West and define the cowgirl spirit. In addition to the reading by HOLLY GEORGE WARREN, UNCLE ROCK will be performing a selection of songs. Starting at 1pm on Sunday, HOLLY GEORGE WARREN will introduce her book, take questions from the audience and sign copies of her book, and UNCLE ROCK will perform cowboy songs for the audience. All ages. 1-3pm.

The Golden Notebook presents book party and signing at Joshua's Upstairs, Woodstock New York. Saturday July 18th from 4 to 6 PM.

Selected Works

Illustrated Nonfiction
The Cowgirl Way, July 2010
“Girls with gumption and a "can do" spirit will get a big kick out of Holly George-Warren’s The Cowgirl Way, which provides a fascinating history of the Wild West and cowgirls, from big names like Annie Oakley to lesser-known gals of the 21st century. Chapters are interspersed with photos, quotes and memorabilia that nicely complement the text. And though the book's target audience is tweens (ages 10 and up), teens and adults will also enjoy George-Warren’s meticulously researched history of American cowgirls.” – Bookpage
