Most of the time, the job (and it is a job) of being a writer involves sitting in front of a keyboard while gritting one's teeth against the siren song of the Internet, but every once in a while we get asked to come out and meet the readers.
That hardly ever happens to me, because -- well, look my pictures. Frankly, unless there's an inexplicable need for a sweaty Hobbit, most venues quickly move on to more photogenic authors.
But even I get lucky sometimes, and this next week is proof of that. I have three, count them, three book events in a single seven-day period.
All take place in and around Memphis, Tennessee, so if you're in the area and you've never seen a Hobbit stop by.
First up, I have a signing and reading event at the Southwind Country Club in Collierville. This event is hosted by a book club, and I'll be appearing beside such luminaries as author Steve Bradshaw, of 'The Bell Trilogy' fame. This takes place Wednesday morning, April 15, from 10 until 2.
Saturday the 18th is Bookstock! I will be just one of the authors participating from 10:30am-3:30pm at the Benjamin L Hooks Central Library.
Here's a flyer for the event:
So if you're anywhere in Memphis Saturday, stop by and say hello!
Finally, next Wednesday, April 22, I'll be in Collierville at the Morton Museum as part of the Meet the Authors luncheon.
This event is hosted by Southern Writers Magazine, and promises to be a blast!
I'm still writing, of course. The new Mug and Meralda book is well underway. I'm writing as fast as I can!
Which reminds me, time to get back to work. Take care all! See you next week!
