LISTEN UP READERS!!! Have I got your attention? I want to take a moment to invite you to come down to Cannon Beach, Oregon for the weekend of April 13-15! It is the first annual GET LIT AT THE BEACH reader & writer festival. It will feature me, Elizabeth George, Susan Wiggs and Jamie Ford – a diverse, but entertaining foursome – sitting down with you to talk about books and writing and author weirdness. Details on the event are below, so you can look and see if it appeals. I think it’s going to be great fun. We are only expecting a hundred people, and this means plenty of face time with all the authors to talk about how much we all love books and why. Here is more information about it:

This particular lineup is rare in a small group situation; if it works, we will try it again with different authors next year. But I don’t think you should wait on chance and next year. Do you? Oh, by the way, big movie news coming up. I will announce it at the Get Lit Weekend. Always there for you, Terry

Will this become an annual event by any chance?
It will if enough people go this year. Terry has even asked the fantasy author to go next year if it works this year. 🙂 In short, go this year. It will be a time you won’t forget.
