I'm working on my next newsletter. And it's all about the new Derek Mason Mystery, SCALPING THE RED ROCKS. I wrote in the newsletter about some things that inspired me to write the novel and how the characters move between my books.
Still time to sign up for the newsletter. Just jump over to my website and commit: http://www.greglilly.com/.
I have blurbs from some great reviewers and writers (see those on the website). I have pre-publication books in a box next to my computer for a pre-release signing next week at the James City County Fair.
Speaking of that... This year at the county fair, the organizers have created an "Arts Night" that includes the "Author Talks Series." I was lucky enough to be invited. Each author will have one hour. The first half is for a presentation and the second half is for discussion and book signings.
Author Talks Series - Thursday, June 24
James City County Fair, Chickahominy Riverfront Park
The schedule is:
4:00 p.m. Mac Laird present "Researching the Historical Book"
5:00 p.m. Edward Lull presents "Poetry for Fun"
6:00 p.m. Laurie Krebs presents "Writing for Young Children"
7:00 p.m. I will present "Overcoming Writer's Block"
8:00 p.m. L.B. Taylor will discuss is series of Virginia ghost stories.
I was able to grab the 7:00 slot because I'm the prettiest of the group....Just seeing if you're paying attention. L.B. wanted to present as the sun sets, and I wanted to go later in the day because it's HOT, so we took the last two slots.
All the presentations sound great to me. I wish I could go to all of them, but I can't see sitting out there in a tent for five hours.
If you're in the area, come on out to the fair on Thursday night. I'll have the new book available and special JCC Fair prices.
