Wes Skillings Will Speak at 2025 Book Confab Chicago and Sign Copies of His Book at the Book Fest at Printers Row

Wes Skillings, author of Mosaic Pieces: Surviving the Dark Side of American Justice, will be giving a talk at the 2025 Book Confab Chicago, an event organized by the self-publishing and book marketing company ReadersMagnet, on Wednesday, September 3, 2025. He will also hold a book signing session at the upcoming book fest at Printers Row on Sunday, September 7, 2025 at ReadersMagnets exhibit space.

Wes Skillings, a retired newspaper reporter, columnist, and editor, brings four decades of journalistic experience to this chilling, thought-provoking account. Set in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania, best known as the birthplace of Little League Baseball, Mosaic Pieces investigates the 1973 murder of a twelve-year-old girl and the swift conviction of 20-year-old Kim Lee Hubbard. Although Hubbard served his sentence and quietly returned to his hometown, this meticulously researched account reveals troubling evidence of prosecutorial misconduct, manipulated forensics, and a rush to judgment that raises doubts about the case to this day.

With a journalists precision and a storytellers voice, Skillings follows the decades-long ripple effects of the case, not only on Hubbard but on his family, community, and the justice system itself. The book is not centered on the victims family, as is typical in true crime stories, but instead focuses on the man many now believe was wrongfully convicted and the moral cost borne by those close to him.

Drawing on courtroom records, forensic experts, and investigative detail, Mosaic Pieces challenges readers to reconsider the narrative of guilt and innocence. This story of injustice, endurance, and a long-denied exoneration is a searing indictment of a system that too often prioritizes expediency over truth.
