What a wealth of experience these talented authors brought to the table for the guests and writers who attended! Also met author @louannkeisereditor, who was a delight to speak with.

Then capped things off at a bookstore that was hopping! What a much-needed time of relaxation with my husband, who graciously schleps my book boxes and takes event photos for me!šŸ“š#authorlife #wvauthor
