More than 40 Michigan authors will share their love of the written word during the second annual Books and Authors event at Leon & Lulu, a gift, accessories and furniture store in Clawson.

"We'll have authors of children's books and adult books with a variety of genres, from fiction to autobiography," says Mary Liz Curtin of Leon & Lulu. "They will be signing and selling their books and answering questions."

Among the participating authors are Laura Becker, Shutta Crum, Karen Dabney, Molly Glad, Janet Heller, Ryan Potter, Josie Richards, Chris Ringler and Patricia Shaw.

The event, sponsored by Leon & Lulu and ICU Eyewear, will benefit Beyond Basics, a nonprofit group that offers reading, writing and enrichment programs to metro Detroit students. Proceeds from refreshments, including hot dogs, popcorn, pop and adult beverages, also will benefit Beyond Basics.

"At last year's event, I really enjoyed watching the authors talk to people and meet people who enjoy or appreciate their work," says Curtin.

11 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday, Leon & Lulu, 96 W. Fourteen Mile, Clawson. Free. 248-288-3600 or leonandlulu.com.
