Lights, Camera, Cocktails!

Like my catchy post title? Thanks to Terry Kate from http://www.romanceinthebackseat.com.

Fun for tomorrow, Sunday, June 7!

Lights: Highlighting this week's Book-A-Week Challenge author Jim Colombo, author of "Keys to the Vault - A Caroline Baker Adventure." Hope you've finished reading and enjoyed Jim's book. www.strategicbookpublishing.com/thekeystothevault.html. Find out more about Jim, come back tomorrow to see his interview and post a comment or question.

Camera: Terry Kate, executive producer of http://www.romanceinthebackseat.com is making her way to New Hampshire and will be here tomorrow, Sunday, June 7. Authors Marianne Arkins (http://www.mariannearkins.com) and Ashlyn Chase (http://www.ashlynchase.com) will be joining me and Terry in the backseat of the car for video interviews.

Cocktails: After all that talking, us girls will need a little cocktail, don't you think? I do! Because Terry asked, I decided to have my first Cocktail Lit Chat tomorrow evening at The Common Man in Windham (http://www.thecman.com/restaurants/common-man-windham/). Authors and readers. . .join the fun! Meet us upstairs in the bar area where they have loveseats and chairs that are perfect for a cozy cocktail chat at 6 PM.

Okay, I'm off to finish the pre-proof edits on Killer Bunny Hill. See you tomorrow!

Coffee Lit Chat

Coffee Lit Chat is a gathering of readers and writers.

Readers want to know about the person behind the stories and authors want to know who is reading their books. This is the opportunity to do just that!

This is something new that was suggested to me by a reader and I had several great responses to the idea when I asked for other feedback. I'm going to do this two different ways. . .online and in-person.

Today, we'll do it online. It doesn't matter who you are, whether reader or writer, but post a message as if you were sitting down having a cup of coffee with us and chat. Ask questions, tell funny anecdotes, just share what is going on with your reading or writing or both.

I'll start off by saying I am on pins and needles waiting for my book cover for Killer Bunny Hill. This Sunday, Marianne Arkins (http://www.mariannearkins.com) and I are going to do the video interview with Terry from http://www.romanceinthebackseat.com. It should be a blast driving around in the car while Terry asks questions.

Now, for the in-person part of the Coffee Lit Chat - Next Sunday, that will be June 14, you can come meet me for coffee and a chat at the Panera in Bedford, NH off South River Road starting at 8 AM (yes, I am a morning person). Whether you are reader or writer, it does not matter. Just come by, find me and my funny blondish red hair at the round booth (there is only one), and introduce yourself. We can chit-chat about everything. Maybe you just want to be inspired to write. Well, put a group of people together and you will get lots of inspiration.

I encourage other authors to join me! It'll be fun.

If you can't make it, then post a comment here and tell us what's going on, what your reading, what you'd like to see.
