Winter brings East Coast library events

I’m halfway through my first East Coast winter, and I have to say it’s been a fairly pleasant one. More days in the 60s than I’ve enjoyed since we left Texas almost six years ago.

Jennifer, Dora, and Myra

And not one snowflake so far--YES!!!

One exciting aspect about life in a new part of the country is making new friends--especially authors Dora Hiers and Jennifer Hudson Taylor, whom I’ve gotten to know through our local chapter of American Christian Fiction Writers.

Thanks to Dora’s contacts with area libraries, the three of us have joined together for an inspirational romance authors’ speaker panel. Our first shared program was last week at the Cleveland County Memorial Library in Shelby, NC. Many thanks to the Friends of the Library for their generous hospitality!

Next on the agenda is “A Night of Inspirational Romance” at the Kannapolis Branch Public Library on Tuesday, February 7, beginning at 6:00 p.m.

From the Kannapolis Library promotional flyer:

Looking for warm reads this Valentine’s Day?  Three authors of inspirational romance will be here to talk about their writing experiences and their books.  Join Dora Hiers, Myra Johnson, and Jennifer Hudson Taylor at the Kannapolis Library for an evening of romance and books.  All three authors will answer questions and books will be available for purchase.

This is a free event and is sponsored by the Friends of the Kannapolis Library.

Hope to see you there!

A visit with author Allie Pleiter Allie, it's great to have you visit my blog today! By the way, I love your tag line, "The Adventure Starts Right Where You Are." What are some of your favorite "adventures" from the novels you've written? Thanks for the kudos on the tag line. I worked hard to find something that encompasses all my fiction, non-fiction, speaking ministry, and knitting blog. I see all of those--in fact I see all of life--as an adventure to be launched from the present circumstances. As for adventures, I certainly have had my share. “Live” (my term for non-book) research has a great appeal for me, and I’ve done all kinds of unusual things to get ready for books. Let’s see...I’ve taken tightrope walking lessons and been backstage at the circus for FACING EVERY MOM’S FEARS. I was taught to work the world’s most expensive espresso machine by a world-class barista, got a crash course in rugby, and experienced the Chinese Kung-Fu Cha Tea Ceremony for THE PERFECT BLEND. I took fencing lessons and learned to crack a bull-whip for MASKED BY MOONLIGHT. I learned to make soap (and acquired my passion for artisan soaps) for BLUEGRASS HERO. Those are just a few of the adventures I’ve had in the name of book research. My travel-knitting blog DestiKNITions is all about fun adventures in American cities. Writing is a great job for a naturally curious person like me. I find most people love to share their expertise if they know you’re trying to...

Are you doing Speedbo? In case you haven't heard, the Seekers are hosting Speedbo this month. If you need motivation to power through that first draft or complete revisions on a project, Seekerville is the place to be! My goal this month is to polish and turn in the third book in my Heartsong Presents series, which I've dubbed "The Horsemen of Cross Roads Farm." This book, titled A Horseman's Hope, completes the trilogy begun with A Horseman's Heart and the soon-to-be-released A Horseman's Gift. Then I hope to get a good start on my next book project so that it will be well under way by summer. If you're doing Speedbo, what are your goals for the month of March? Are you making progress?
