The final quarter of 2013 is quickly approaching, and for me, it’ll be a busy one.
I’ll be participating in my first two author events. The first is the Book Clubs United for Breast Cancer Fundraiser in Greensboro, North Carolina at the New Orleans Bar & Grill Restaurant on Saturday, October 5th from 1:30 to 5PM. The second is A Hauntingly Sexy Meet and Greet at Doubletree Fayetteville in Fayetteville, NC on October 19th from 7-10PM. It’s a perfect opportunity to get to know favorite authors and to discover new ones. So come out and join us!
In between those two events I’ll be attending a workshop hosted by my local Heart of Carolina RWA Chapter, and led by the brilliant Bob Mayer. So if you’d like to learn more about Outlining, Plot, Conflict, and Writing Scenes: The Events of Your Story or E-Pub, Self-Pub, Marketing & Selling the Book and Future of Publishing for Writers, I invite you to join us on October 12th at the Embassy Suites in Cary, NC from 9AM – 5PM.
The invitations and featured authors for both author events, and the flyer and registration info for the workshop are listed below.
What’s going on in your world?

Oh what great events for you. Congratulations! Does this make all feel real? How fun. Enjoy and love that they’re for a good cause too. Kudos to all of you.

Thanks, Julie! It does still feel so weird. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Reese, Greensboro is right in my neck of the woods. I’m hoping I’ll be able to come to your Book Clubs United Breast Cancer event. However, that’s the same weekend as my son’s birthday so there’s a possible scheduling conflict. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I can somehow work in your event without getting lynched by my family. 🙂
Would be awesome to see you, but I understand about your son’s birthday. Don’t wanna get on his badside. 🙂 I’m sure I’ll be out that way again soon.
