B&N River Crossing is having a summer reading kickoff on May 20th. I will be there signing copies of Seas Apart. My friend, Annette Oppenlander, will be there as well with her Escape from the Past trilogy. We are super excited for this opportunity to do a book signing together. For anyone that has a young reader in their life, please share. They need to read 8 books and maintain a reading journal in order to participate in the program. Once they do that, they can come into the store and receive a book. Please stay tuned for more information coming soon. :.)
