So I spent this past weekend in Alabama at two back-to-back writer/reader events and I have to tell you straight up that I had a super fantastic time. Birmingham is “The Magic City” and the conference is organized by the Birmingham chapter of Sisters in Crime, Southern Sisters and the Homewood Public Library, but we all know that Margaret Fenton is the mover and shaker who makes it all happen, combining two dozen authors with one hundred readers for a very lively day of panels, presentations and conversation.
I was lucky enough to snag a picture with each of the Guests of Honor, Hank Phillippi Ryan, author of Truth Be Told and Craig Johnson of Longmire fame.
And I was happy to hang for a bit with old friends Debra Goldstein and Paula Benson who I rarely get to see. Here they are with new friends Michael Guillebeau, Warren Bull and Robert Mangeot.
All in all a joyful day. And please stay tuned. Next week I’ll talk about Murder on the Menu in Wetumpka–another smashing event.
Terrie
