Crystal King has been planning her book launch, as well as a special event at the Boston Community Adult Education center, an opulent Roman cooking lesson and reading! If you are in Boston in May, you’ll want to keep an eye on Crystal’s site for details. She’s also digging into Leah DeCesare’s FORKS, KNIVES, AND SPOONS, out the week before Crystal’s novel, on April 18.

Jenni L. Walsh is preparing for Thanksgiving, having taken on the role of Turkey Maker for the first time (wish her luck, and Happy Thanksgiving to you all!).

Tiffany D. Jackson is on her way to Cape Town, South Africa, where she’ll spend two weeks being adventurous and writing. Happy Turkey Day America!!

Lynn K. Hall is spending the weekend in Moab, Utah to help support a friend running an ultra-marathon. Lynn has decided that frequent mini-trips are the perfect medicine for memoir-publishing angst!

Amy Poeppel went to the Point Street Reading Series in Providence, RI last Tuesday and heard the fabulous Georgia Clark (yesterday’s Debutante guest) read from her hilarious book THE REGULARS, along with Kate Moretti (THE VANISHING YEAR), Juliette Faye (THE TUMBLING TURNER SISTERS), Wendy Walker (ALL IS NOT FORGOTTEN), and Maddie Dawson (THE SURVIVOR’S GUIDE TO FAMILY HAPPINESS). Also got to chat with Leah DeCesare (FORKS, KNIVES, AND SPOONS) and, of course, with the organizer and book guru Robin Kall. A terrific evening!
