'Tis the holidays

Ah, yes, only 16 more shopping days until Christmas!

So may I suggest that you take a break from cookie making/gift wrapping/tree trimming to come chat with authors from the area?

The first opportunity is tomorrow, Dec. 3, when a number of authors -- including those from KYOWA Writers – will be at the Boyd County Public Library in Ashland, Ky., from 2 to 4 p.m.

The next is Saturday, Dec.l 17, when nearly two dozen writers will take part in the Holiday Author Showcase at the McConnell House, at U.S. 23 and the Industrial Parkway, near Wurtland, Ky. They'll be there from 10 a.m. to mid-afternoon, as will Abraham Lincoln, Robert E. Lee, several Confederate soldiers with their gear and a musician providing Civil War era music. There is no admission free and so many great books!

The perfect gift?


Once again, it's the gift-giving season and once again, you're faced with trying to find the perfect gift for that someone who is SO hard to buy for.
May I suggest a book?
"Currents," a new anthology by members of KYOWA #180, the chapter of Romance Writers of America serving my little neck of the world, contains marvelous short stories of all kinds (even a romance or two!) What's best of all is that the royalties from "Currents" are being donated to help support a local ovarian cancer screening center which will start screenings in January.
"Currents" is modestly pricesd at $9.99, and can be purchased from Amazon. com or directly from the publisher, Tuquoise Morning Press, at www.turquoisemorningpress.com.
Check it out. You may decide it's the perfect gift for you to relax with as well!
