Dear Friends and Readers,
As a result of a Book Award from the NYC Big Board/Independent Press contest, I was allotted an author signing half hour at the booth hosted by Printed Word Reviews, the contest sponsor.
Franky, I was terrified. My admission number to this prestigious conference was 2156322, which shows you the scale of the event.
But I had a tremendous day and sold out the six books I brought, and was honored by many sign-ins to get a bonus article. One attendee below told me that she was writing a novel with a Type 1 diabetic as protagonist, having never seen a main character reflecting her experience. I asked her to keep in touch.
I was thrilled to get permission from The Rabaul Historical Society to use their letterhead on a giveaway tote bag, with my links on it. I met extaordinary new people. My colleague, author Susan Wands, won the same award and we were together at the event and at the Marriot Hotel later.

Ar 4 pm. we met a colleague, Kate Gale of Red Hen Press, and headed to the Marriot Bar.
At the Marriot Hotel I met other members of The Authors Guild, We laughed and talked for three hours.
