4th Annual Hanover Book Festival

This will be an exciting day for authors, would-be writers, seasoned writers and families in the area!

Tanya Blowe and I will share a table to sell our respective books. Tanya is an amazing person! She exemplifies entrepreneurship AND generosity of spirit!

We met at a Christian Writer's conference in Virginia Beach about 2 years ago. I bought her poetry book and we began to chat about our respective books. The scripture verse upon which she based her title is the same one I used for my book title! When I found out she lived in Richmond . . . well the rest, as they say, is history.

She's been a mentor and advisor and has become a dear friend. She has become a member of Richmond Christians Who Write so I get to see her more often than previously. I'm thrilled we will be sharing a table at this book festival and will have time to chat and plan and dream together.

Click on the picture above to go to the site for detailed information. Entertainment for kids, a writing workshop for teens, and so much more will on hand on August 1. I hope to see you there!
