Aloha! We have winners from last week's blogs - Glenda, Carol, and Debby win a book choice from my convention stash.
I am also a winner for attending the Washington Romance Writers (WRW) Washington Loves Readers' Luncheon. I sat with Anna Bennett and Sally MacKenzie ....
Each author treated the readers at our table to special goody bags, including copies of their books, chocolate, and other must haves for historical fans! We also enjoyed the company of Lori Ann Bailey, who just celebrated the release of her debut, HIGHLAND DECEPTION. We all drooled over the cover.

I chatted with five other readers, including four who drove down from New Jersey with Terri Brisbin. They didn't reveal any secrets about Terri ... but they shared the secret of their book club, which has met for over 20 years. The secret? Trying new genres.

I am giving away a book choice from my convention stash. To enter the giveaway, Leave a comment about book clubs - have you participated in any? The manager from BOOKS WITH A PAST (link) asked me if I would consider leading a book club ... which I am still considering. Due to shipping costs, this giveaway is open to US residents only. Comments are open through Sunday, October 16, 10 pm in Baltimore. I'll post the winner on Sunday, October 17.
Mahalo,
Kim in Baltimore
