Licking Valley Writers Workshop
(3)I will be signing from 4:00 to 5:45 tomorrow at the Licking Valley Writer’s Workshop sponsored by the Licking Valley Campus of Maysville Community and Technical College.
The event will be held at the historic Prizing House* and will be followed by a dinner with music by Rusted Clay. After dinner, and Kentucky’s Poet Laureate Gurney Norman will deliver the Clay Lecture.
The signing includes a stellar collection of Kentucky’s authors: Gurney Norman, Frank X. Walker, George Ella Lyon, Anne Shelby, Leatha Kendrick, Diane Gilliam, Jill Morgan, Mary Ann Taylor-Hall, Marianne Worthington, David Dick, Karen Angelucci, Lynn Shaffer, Buck Pennington, and Britt Kennerly.
On Saturday, workshops will be presented by Walker, Gilliam, Lyn, Shelby, Norman, and Kendrick.
This Licking Valley Writers Workshop was conceived and created, as was the Licking Valley Campus itself, by Bruce Florence, a woman of vision. I, for one, am very grateful to her.

Wish I could join you — it sounds like a wonderful evening (and weekend!)

You were missed. It was a lovely event in an attractive venue — one of those intrapreneurial small businesses the U.S. loves and a reclamation of an old tobacco warehouse that had done some duty as a roller rink. The book fair turned out to be their inaugural event and they did well by us. As did the the Cynthiana Arts Council and the Licking Valley branch of MCTCS, as did the community, which turned out in good numbers.
