Author Coming to Borders

Just wanted to let you know about an upcoming event at our store with the local author, Carol Plum-Ucci on Sat., 4/24 from 3-6PM. She will be here to autograph copies of her new book, Fire Will Fall, which is her 7th book and a sequel to her popular Streams of Babel. Carol will be giving away 2 copies of Streams of Babel as prizes for a trivia contest about her books.

For the last hour, Carol will review teen author writings (prose or poetry), and offer professional advice. If you know any budding teen authors, please let them know about this opportunity to meet and consult with a local author who knows the ropes of professional publishing.

This would be an excellent idea for anyone who is an aspiring writer to attend. Hope to see you there!
