As I’d mentioned in an earlier post, the North Carolina event, in which I was supposed to participate, was canceled unexpectedly the day before the start date. Some of the other participating authors of the canceled event (Jacqueline Thomas, Pat Simmons, Maurice M. Gray Jr., Lacricia A’ngelle and Michele Andrea Bowen) got together at Ideas Coffeehouse <\/a>last Saturday for an impromptu booksigning. From what I’d heard, the event went pretty well and they sold some books and met some fans.<\/p>\n

I skipped the Ideas Coffeehouse event since I’d already made plans to meet author Linda Leigh Hargrove. She’s written two books for Moody’s Lift Every Voice imprint:
\"\"<\/a>
The Making Of Isaac Hunt<\/a>
and
\"\"<\/a>
Loving Cee Cee Johnson<\/a><\/p>\n

Both books have beautiful covers and I look forward to reading her titles.<\/p>\n

Linda and I walked around the mall and talked shop for a few hours! I had a lovely time and it was good to speak to a fellow scribe for the afternoon. You’ll find Linda’s picture posted on today’s blog entry.<\/p>\n
