Meet John Armbruster
Author of Tailspin
Book Signing on Thursday, July 23rd at 4pm
(Author Q and A at 5:30 pm)
In the Caramel Crisp Bookstore
200 City Center, Oshkosh
Tailspin by John Armbruster is the incredible World War II survival story of Eugene "Gene" Moran, a tail gunner who fell four miles without a parachute and became a German prisoner of war. The book intertwines Moran's harrowing experiences, including a death march and life in POW camps, with Armbruster's own life as a history teacher dealing with his wife's cancer, creating a dual narrative about trauma, resilience, and healing.
Meet the author of this amazing narrative of survival and redemption at Caramel Crisp Bookstore on Thursday, July 23rd! The author will be signing his book beginning at 4:00. At 5:30, join John for an informal discussion of the writing of Tailspin and his relationship with his subject, Eugene Moran. Celebrate Airventure and support a Wisconsin Author at this great aviation related book event!

All these wonderful moments and more await at Caramel Crisp’s Harry Potter Birthday Celebration at Caramel Crisp. Don’t miss the magic!
Great books and kids are a magical combination! And there is something extra special about a book written by someone whom your child has met in person. On Saturday, August 1st, from 10 am to 2 pm, Caramel Crisp Bookstore will welcome writers of books for children and young readers at our fourth annual Children’s Author Book Fair.
If your child is still being read to, if they are beginning to read themselves or if they are readers of chapter books, there will be something for everyone at the Children’s Book Fair!
The Caramel Crisp Book Fair will be held in conjunction with the Downtown Oshkosh Chalk Walk event (just a block away in Opera House Square) and there will be a chalk related craft for kiddos of all ages at the Book Fair! Prizes too!
