Uwharrie Book signing 05/22/2010

Ms. Heidi Ippolito, author of "Bobo's New Home", joined me on the trek to North Carolina for this multi-author book signing. It was a pleasant day, although my navigator (Ms. Heidi) only got me lost once. Really it wasn't her fault as I should have prepared directions from any scenario. I was trying to show her how to get to Central Piedmont Community College where we will be for the Love 2 Learn Homeschool Conference and because the directions I had printed out actually took me a different way than I went last year, I got myself turned around. So I don't blame her really. We had a very enjoyable day.

She took some wonderful pictures. The bookstore is actually smaller than I thought and I was surprised that they actually have a book club meeting there and there are other groups they have there too. Of course, I guess if they are having discussion groups and workshops and all, they figure out a way to accommodate folks.

My table mate, Jennifer Hudson Taylor, author of historical romance novels that have to do with her heritage in a way.





April Thomas, self-published author of a book called "Broken" and one other, with a third one on the way. She bought a copy of each of my books.






Ms. Heidi, Shawn (owner of Uwharrie Books), daughter and son, and Jeni (Joyce and Jim Levene's daughter).





It was a very enjoyable day and I thank April and Jim and Joyce Levene for their purchases. I also thank Joyce for posting on a forum about this opportunity. I look forward to more visits with the store and more events. Mrs. E :)

Multi-author book signing - Uwharrie Books

I'll be traveling to Charlotte or just on the other side of Charlotte really to Uwharrie Bookson Saturday, May 22, for a multi-author book signing. If you happen to be in the area, stop by and say hello, purchase a copy of State of Wilderness and/or State of Quarries and have me personalize it for you.

Another author friend of mine is traveling with me for the company but also because I'm going to show her around the area a bit since she will be joining me at the Love to Learn Homeschool Resource and Info conference in August. I'm looking forward to this.

Teachers are welcome to visit and check out the series as possible supplements to their social studies curriculum. I will have a few study guides available for both books, so please, check me out. See you all there - Mrs. E & the JGDS
