News Flash, June 15 (Happy Father’s Day!)

Deb News:

Deb Jess is pleased to announce that despite the tornadoes, hail, torrential rains, and flash flooding, the Driving Sideways launch party was a fabulous success! Thanks to everyone who braved the weather to attend, and special thanks to the creative staff at Encore Event Planning. To see photos, visit Jess’s blog here.

This week, Jess will be featured in an interview with the PKD Foundation on their website (www.pkdcure.org). Last week, she was interviewed by the fabulous editors of Trashionista.

Also this week (June 19), Driving Sideways makes its debut as a Target Break-Out Book in stores nationwide!

Debs Jess, Danielle, and Gail learned on Friday that their panel proposal was accepted by the Wisconsin Book Festival! They’ll be speaking about how debut authors can work together to cross-promote and share the publishing journey at a date TBD during the festival, which runs from October 15-19 in Madison, Wisconsin. (Here’s hoping that Debs Lisa, Eileen, and Jenny can make the trip to join them!!)
