Happy Friday!
Jennifer here!
You may not be aware but I’m highly involved with my public library in town. In fact, I’m on the Library Board of Trustees and love to advocate reading and authors all the time.
Our library has a great relationship with our Friends & Volunteers of the Library as well. Since we happen to have a big reading community, the Friends always put on two big author events each year. In May, they host a Local Author High Tea and in October, they host a NY Times bestselling author luncheon.
These tickets sell out like concert tickets!!
But I digress.
Yesterday, we had our local author tea. Jonathon King was our author. 
What a great event!
I just love celebrating other authors’ works and hearing their creative process. So fun. And of course, I love telling others what a great public library we have! (The Ocean City Free Public Library)
Here I am with my library director and also with a writer from our town newspaper.
(PS. I wore a dress I bought from Boden. It has pockets!!!)
And lastly, fellow Entangled author Tina Gabrielle made the drive down to attend as well!
Looking forward to the next author event for sure!
Do you have a lot of author events in your area? Do you live in a big reading community?

there seem to be some good events around here, but also more individualized than…like an author tea. More like, this author or that author at the library to speak or share or whatever. But, otoh, i probably haven’t been too much into searching for those opportunities either. 🙂
