Huzzah!

I have been working with the local Reading Association for the past year and a half as their "Authors' Chair". My job is to promote our yearly author dinner and bring authors to the event... Last year it felt like pulling teeth to get authors to come. Strike that, it was like extracting wisdom teeth from a crocodile.

Needless to say, it was the most difficult part of the journey. In the end, however, the authors came and we had a great event.

This year I thought I would start early and e-mail the authors in November--after all, the event in March and I was sure to get a slew of rejections. But low and behold my in-box runneth over. That's right, the first 4 authors I contacted responded with big fat yeses!

 I now have 4 authors set and am as happy as a clam.

Woot woot for early plans!

Huzzah!
