I’ve had the great honor of being included in an upcoming multi-author event in support of the Weston Center for Women<\/a>, a non-profit organization that assists women who are transitioning back into the community after incarceration or inpatient substance abuse treatment.<\/p>\n

The event is taking place Saturday, April 30 from 1 to 4 p.m.<\/strong> on the grounds of Mont Marie, 28 Lower Westfield Road, Holyoke, Massaschusetts. There will be wines to sample and terrific hot and cold hors d’ouevres. And attendees will have the chance to meet some truly fine writers (and, you know, at least one guy who writes books about football). You’ll also be able to buy signed copies of all the authors’ books with proceeds from sales supporting the Weston Center. And, you know, even if you already have all of our books, keep in mind that Mothers Day, Fathers Day and graduation season<\/strong> all are coming up. Signed books make awesome gifts. Tickets are $30 in advance, $50 at the door.<\/p>\n
