If you live in the Midwest Barb, Sherry, and I are going to be at the Barbara Vey Reader Appreciation Weekend April 26th through the 28th! The weekend is packed full of events with tons of opportunities to meet and talk to authors including the three of us. You can find the full schedule here: http://barbaravey.com/bvw19/
Three events require advanced tickets. One is a fabulous lunch where you could sit with one of us and hear Keynote speaker actress and author Meg Tilly! As hosts, we will be decorating our tables and will have gifts for our guests. We’re all working on that now!
The pizza party is Saturday night at 5:30pm. It’s a relaxed atmosphere to visit with other readers and authors while enjoying soda and all the pizza you can eat.
The last event of the weekend is breakfast where you can sit with one of us. We’re also decorating our tables for breakfast! It includes a full buffet with beverages and a chance to win a last minute door prize and maybe go home with a few more books.
Here’s a link to purchase lunch, pizza, and breakfast tickets:

Going to Milwaukee is a bit of a trek for us, but we’re really looking forward to meeting some readers. If you know of anyone who lives in the area, let them know about it, and make sure they say hello. Tickets are on sale for another week.
We made this video to introduce ourselves to folks. You all know us, but you may enjoy it.
The trip sounds fabulous! Were you invited or did you ask to be included? I was feeling a little left out – then remembered that Saturday is when I have two appearances at the Newburyport Literary Festival. Yeah, I’m good. ;^)
We were invited. The Newburyport event sounds fabulous!
The Newburyport event usually conflicts with Malice, right? So glad you’ll be able to go this year!
Exactly. This is one of the few years when it’s offset!
Oh, I wish I could be there. I’ll be deep in the heart of Arizona at that time visiting my daughter. Have a ball, gals!
Have fun in Arizona!
Thank you! Have a great visit!
Sounds like a great event – enjoy.
Sherry, I love the hair cut!
Thanks, Liz!
Doesn’t she look fab?
Sounds like a blast! Wish I could be there.
Wish you could be too! It would be great to see you in 3D!
Never thought I would have Milwaukee envy, but I do. Sounds like a great event! Enjoy.
Thank you! Believe it or not, it’s my second visit there in a year. A really great city.
