Greetings!

 

 

I'd like to thank everyone who participated in the 2013 Book 'Em North Carolina event held this past Saturday. Despite the heavy rains and forecast of a major storm, the day was very successful - thanks to the authors, publishers, agents, attendees and volunteers who came out.

  

We had authors come from as far away as California and Chuck Williams even took a break from his pirate filming in the Caribbean to come to Lumberton. Many thanks to Mary Alice Monroe and Chuck Williams for serving as our headliners this year!
 
I met attendees who traveled from Ohio, Missouri, Indiana, Illinois, Maryland and Florida just for the opportunity to meet the authors and publishers.
 
Some preliminary results are below. If you have any specific questions, you can always reach me at patricia@pmterrell.com.

 

Sincerely,


Trish Terrell
