Some photos from the Wonderland Book Club ...

Oh, a good time was most certainly had by all!



Chatting with club members

I had a great trip to Raleigh last Thursday-Friday, and a really lovely event with the Wonderland Book Club at the Center for Excellence. We talked Keowee Valley, history, the publishing industry, the writing life, and more. Thanks to all the wonderful folks who came out, and to the doyenne of book clubs, Alice Osborn, for setting it all up.

Almost forgot: Afterwards, my husband and I got to eat lunch with club members at Mia Francesca in Raleigh. I had a panini that made my very pregnant heart sing.

Heading to Raleigh

Getting excited about Friday’s event with the Wonderland Book Club in Raleigh, N.C.! Registration is still open–and FREE–to anyone who wants to come talk books, writing, history, Keowee Valley, and anything else under the sun.

Triangle area folks, especially, I hope you’ll take a Friday morning break and come on out. Register for FREE here.

The club is city-wide, and facilitated by Alice Osborn, writer and fellow member of the North Carolina Writer’s Network. I’ve been a member of the Network since moving permanently to North Carolina in 2005; it’s a fabulous resource and wonderful writing community for creative types in any stage of their writing careers–from “I think I may want to write a novel,” to being widely published.

* On a side note, I’m deep into reading what’s considered to be the very first historical novel: Sir Walter Scott’s Waverly; or, ‘Tis Sixty Years Since. Set in Scotland during the Jacobite Uprising of 1745, it’s the story of an Englishman named Edward Waverly, and his adventures and foibles in the Scottish highlands.

And don’t worry–I’m still writing Novel 2!
