I am entering into my Authors phase. Thankfully it's one that I'm sure to enjoy.This past Monday evening the library entertained about 30 fans of two popular young adult/adult fiction writers. Kelley Armstrong and Edo Van Belkom were certainly entertaining as they engaged the audience in stories about their climb to publishdom(?) How they picked their characters, storyline etc.
All in all it was a fun evening for all...and since the reading many people have mentioned to me how they wish they had of know about the reading as they were big fans and would have come. You can be sure we are going to do a better job of publicity in the future:) Also at the reading was author Kara Bartley..fresh from publishing her third book entitled Call of Adhara. Kara had done a reading for the Library previously and had become acquainted with Kelley Armstrong and was interested in coming to see her speak again. We hope that in future we can have Kara read for the Library again.
This coming Monday evening, I, along with my sisters Valerie and Sherri, and niece Barb, will attend the Grimsby Author series and listen to reading by Cathy Buchanan and Lawrence Hill, two authors of wonderful books that have both been on the best seller list. I am really looking forward to seeing both authors read and getting the opportunity to here about their writing process. I'll keep you updated...till then...I'll say Wen
