Twice-postponed, this event will happen in two months! Six years ago I was here for my very first event with one book. Now I have six, and if all goes well, my first novel. Yes, I am branching out into literary fiction!
Stay tuned for more news! Can't back it to Ridgeway, SC? Here are some links for you! Thanks!
