Howdy, Chickies!

I’m cheating here. Instead of chatting about a writing topic I’m giving you the 411 on the June Reader/Writer Get-together Lori and I do each year. This will be our third and biggest year ever! We have two agents (Berkley and St Martin) and two agents coming in. Sweet! Okay, I realize if you are a reader this may not tickly your funny but it should! These are the gals that get the work from the author to the bookstore. They are our heroes. And this year they’ll give a little talk on what’s new and headed your way. Always nice to hear from the powers that be.

And there will be an author cookbook to ogle over and tons and tons of donated baskets to bid on and line dancing Saturday night and a huge bookfair and yummy food and a looooovely hotel and a very relaxed way to sit and chat with authors and readers. All this for $35. That covers your food for Fri night, Sat breakfast and lunch. What a deal! Lori and I take care of the other expenses. And any profits we make for the raffles and bookfair (not all, some goes to B&N) we donate to the YWCA battered women’s shelter in Cincy. They will be there too to tell you how they spend the money. Last year we donated 2700! See picture above. 🙂

So, if you can make it do! It’s fun and casual (I wear pink jeans, T-shirt, gym shoes and cowboy hat!) I’m giving away new hats this year of a different nature. Come and see!

If you have any questions let me know. Need directions just let me know. Register at Lori’s site LoriFoster.com. Below is an outline of what’s coming your way.

Hope to see you all!!!!!!!!

Hugs, Dianne
