WriterFest

Leave a comment

I love events where creative people come together and inspire each other. WriterFest weekend at Belmont University was that kind of event, a gathering of writers, aspiring writers, literary agents, editors, and others in the publishing industry. Thanks to Ami McConnell and the team who made it a great success!

My agent, Mary Elizabeth Colton, and I have a good time talking about “Writing from Life.”

I had fun hanging out with Mary Bess Dunn. Here we’re with literary agent Danielle Marshall.

The Amazing Dickson Ladies Literary Society

Leave a comment

The Dickson Ladies Literary Society has been going strong for more than 60 years. A few days ago I had the pleasure of joining about 30 lovely ladies who were reading Prodigal, and what a great time I had with them. They meet at the Clement Railroad Museum and Hotel. That in itself was such a pleasure. I want to go back and spend more time in the historic downtown of Dickson!

A Bookish Moment

Centennial Club

After a wild night of storms in Nashville, this room was still full on Thursday at noon when I spoke to the Centennial Club ladies about Prodigal. Such an honor to be invited! What a thrill to sign the guest book along with signatures from many years past – Robert Frost and Amelia Earhart to name a few!

Parnassus came to the Centennial Club and sold books. These that are left went back to Parnassus.

If you’re thinking of reading Prodigal, please buy it from Parnassus!
