LADIES' DAY!

Hey, Lady! It's that time again! On Saturday, April 18th, we will be celebrating the second annual Ladies' Day in Troy. The event has moved from the town square to the commons area at Obion County Central High School, so we have plenty of parking and vendor space and we don't have to worry about weather!

Ladies' Day 2015 is going to be even bigger and better than last year's event, with over 40 vendors, speakers, a fitness demo, fashion shows, special music, delicious food, and lots of door prizes. Admission is free, so grab your girlfriends and head over for a fun-filled day of celebrating the ways women make our town and our county great!

I will be there enjoying the festivities, and I would love for you to visit my book table. You can purchase an autographed copy of my newest book - Wish You Were Here:  Letters From the Foot of the Cross - or just stop by to say "Hi!"

The fun starts at 10:00 a.m. and runs until 2:00 p.m. Obion County Central High School is located at 528 U.S. 51 North in Troy, Tennessee. Pull around back for plenty of parking - signs will direct you to the event!

I hope to see you there!

W. G. RHEA PUBLIC LIBRARY - BOOK EVENT!

Yes, I admit I am SUPER EXCITED about participating in W. G. Rhea Public Library's annual Cornucopia of Talent this year!

I met Connie McSwain, the Director of W. G. Rhea Public Library, at a book review club meeting several months ago. Do you believe in love at first sight? Connie is one of those enthusiastic, lively people with an infectious joy for living - spend a few minutes with her and your day is certain to be made brighter!

I don't know who else is on the program for the afternoon, but knowing Connie, this is going to be a wonderfully fun event. I hope you can join us Saturday, November 8th, from 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. at the library. W.G. Rhea Public Library is located at 400 W. Washington Street in beautiful Paris, TN. I will be there along with several other area authors, to interact with visitors and to hopefully sell a few books. (A book by a local author - signed with a personal inscription - sounds like a GREAT Christmas gift!)

Books, good company, delicious food...come to Paris!
