Hanover Bookfest 2007

Getting up at 4:30 a.m. to meet my ride to Mechanicsville at 5:30 wasn't fun. However, the 2nd Annual Hanover Bookfest was worth it. A huge crowd of authors and visitors were there.

Moi—at my table. I'm holding the brand new A Cup of Comfort for Writers.

I caught a ride with Jim Morrison, author of Bedford Goes to War. Jim is president of Valley Writers and the group leader for Lake Writers. He is a great supporter of writing events.

Jim Morrison thumbs through his book.

Jim and I both sold some books, and I swapped books for other authors' books. Now my stack of books I want to read is even higher.

One of the best things about a bookfest is the chance to exchange information and catch up on what fellow authors are doing. I learned several interesting things yesterday and met several interesting people. One of the best things I learned was that I'm lucky to have been rejected by a publisher I submitted to a few years ago.

But that's another story.
