Every day during August a different author will be spotlighted in their own thread in our Author Central forum. We encourage everyone to visit on that day and post photographs, reminiscences, cover scans, links to appropriate sites, reviews, and other reactions. With 31 days and 31 authors there's a chance to share what you know as well as learn new things, so do drop by every day, or as often as you can, to join in the fun!
Of course these threads, and all our other author threads, remain open all the rest of the year too, so you do not need to feel in any way limited to a specific author or day. However, it is always great fun to check each day and see what the featured author has inspired everybody to post.
