Barbara Vey’s Reader Appreciation Luncheon

I had a wonderful time at Barbara Vey’s luncheon in Milwaukee, Wisconsin this past weekend!  It was great fun connecting with readers and so many talented authors, including Kristan Higgins, Eloisa James, Tiffany Snow, Debby Giusti, Terri Brisbin and our wonderful keynote speaker Tess Gerritsen.  What was my tablescape?  I took a page from my romantic suspense series set in Nashville and recreated Rudy’s Honky-Tonk.  The table was decked out with a red checkered table cloth, a cowboy boot vase filled with flowers, personalized “Rudy’s” mugs, and lots of peanuts in the shell (what honky-tonk doesn’t have peanuts?!) With just days to go before the April 28, 2015 release of BE AFRAID (the second novel in the Nashville series), I signed copies of the first book COVER YOUR EYES after the luncheon.
