Author Visits!

My friends at the Warren Newport Public Library in Gurnee are hosting some fabulous, free author events! If you are interested in attending, call 847-244-5150 or go to their website to register. Authors will sign copies of their books.

Lauren Willig and Tasha Alexander will be appearing on Wednesday, February 22nd at 7pm. Lauren Willig writes the Pink Carnation historical fiction series, which is one of my favorites. She will be discussing her new book, The Garden Intrigue. Tasha Alexander writes the Lady Emily mystery series and will discuss her latest novel, A Crimson Warning.

Sunday, February 26 2:00pm Jennifer Chiaverini will discuss her latest novel, The Wedding Quilt. In addition to the 17 volumes of the Elm Creek Quilts series, she is the author of four volumes of quilt patterns as well as the designer of the Elm Creek Quilts fabric line.

Erik Larson will be appearing on Sunday, March 18th at 2pm. Larson is the writer of the hugely successful Devil in the White City and will talk about his research strategies and his latest book, In the Garden of Beasts.

And although it's a few months away, I'm so excited that they are hosting Jen Lancaster on Saturday, June 16th at 2pm. Jen is one of my favorite authors, so I'll be the crazy fan sitting in the front row acting like I'm at a Justin Bieber concert. Hope to see you there!
