Wintergirls comes out in 4 days…
You all know I live in a small town… well, actually I live on a country road outside of a small town. The town is Mexico, NY. We have a great high school, post office, grocery store, a diner, and two stoplights.
And we have a wonderful library and historical society.
The latter two joined forces yesterday and put on a Revolutionary-era tea. Proceeds from the tea and the book sale went to the Historical Society’s efforts to renovate a tin shop in our town that was a stop on the Underground Railway.
About one hundred people came out to hear me talk about CHAINS and enjoy tea and yummy delights.
Just one of the tables!
The food was all based on food mentioned in CHAINS. Here’s the menu.
Members of the historical society and a bunch of kids and teens dressed in period costume.
A couple of years ago, my neighbors were the first to hear a reading of CHAINS, when I read a chapter in draft at a Christmas celebration. Yesterday, many of the same people heard the opening pages to FORGE. They’ve all been sworn to secrecy!
FORGE probably won’t be out until next fall, but….
