EAST HARTFORD, CT — October 18, 2025 — OnlineBookClub.org, the global community of over six million readers and authors, will host its 2025 Book Expo tomorrow at Humacao Restaurant in East Hartford, Connecticut. The event runs from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM and brings together writers, readers, and local businesses for a day of books, prizes, and celebration.
Much like a farmer’s market, but with authors instead of produce vendors—the OnlineBookClub.org Book Expo will feature one-on-one author meet-and-greets, book signings, and exclusive giveaways. Most featured authors have books available in both Spanish and English and across all major formats: print, ebook, and audiobook.
Featured authors include Eckhart Aurelius Hughes (author of *In It Together* and *Minimum-Wage Millionaire*), Ray Catania, Davis Hawn, Jason Calabrese, Garon Whited, Robert Murray, Chaz Holesworth, John W. Roberts, Mary K. Savarese, Michaela Riley, and Henry Summers.
(*Jay Parthemore, previously scheduled, will not appear.*)
Free Raffle and Community Support
Adding to the excitement, OnlineBookClub.org announced a **free raffle** open to all attendees. Winners will choose from an array of prizes, including:
- A digital picture frame
- A build-your-own wooden clock kit
- A luxury glassware set
- A brand-new webcam
- A $25 Amazon gift card
- Plus many additional surprise items
Local businesses are encouraged to donate or discount products for the raffle. “Selling us a gift card at half price is like advertising your business on Groupon—but cheaper, more effective, and supporting a great cause,” said event organizer Eckhart Aurelius Hughes.
