Have You Heard the Latest?The Heart of Dixie chapter's annual Readers Luncheon was fabulous as always, though bittersweet after the recent loss of one of our founding members, Beverly Barton. I sat with author Debbie Kaufman and the entire table of energetic readers thoroughly enjoyed getting to know this historical romance writer! We had a young male model dressed as a Highlander, kilt and all, to get your picture taken with! Can't wait to see my photo when it comes in a few weeks, after they photoshop it onto a romance book cover, that is. While I never win anything has been my motto, I can't say that now! I won the "gift basket" put together by our own Beverly before she passed away in April. Talk about shocked! I didn't feel like I was worthy of it, but then another writer friend pointed out that I should take it as a sign from Beverly to persevere. Sign or not, I'll persevere with my writing, even returning to journaling as a result of the two journals tucked inside the gold Michael Kors handbag. Thank you, Beverly, I'll treasure your gift always. Mark your calendars for the first Saturday in May 2012 for next year's Heart of Dixie luncheon. And keep an eye on our HOD website for updates! |
