I am posting this on both blogs today because the event is next week and it is available to every one, every where. You don't want to miss it. This is an event for both authors and their latest releases BUT ALSO it is an official Summer Scares event as well.
Please, signup even if you cannot make it. They will be sending a recording. This is a great event to let your patrons know about as well. Again, all can signup no matter where you live.
While this will be a great event on its own, on a selfish note, as one of the people in charge of Summer Scares, I'd love to get a report of HUGE numbers in support of Summer Scares.
Please use the link here or see the text from their website below.
Maybe I will see you there.
