Aloha to Barbara Vey's Reader Appreciation Luncheon - Author Tables (part 1)


On Saturday morning, I helped my roommate take down table decorations for the Reader Appreciation Luncheon. This gaive me an opportunity to photograph the author tables.  Above is my fellow veteran Terry Spear.   Below is another veteran, Cindy Dees.



I loved Cindy's napkins.



The Belle of the Ball was Cherry Adair ...



... with her jungle theme!



Mary Burton decorated sweet ...


... with a country theme!


Nancy Naigle rolled out the Grannies ...


... from her new release, IN HIGH COTTON.


Jocie McKade celebrated the Baer Truth ...



... while Terri Brisbin brought along Scorch for RISING FIRE.


More tables to come tomorrow!  I am giving away a book choice from my convention stash to one randomly selected commenter from this week's blogs.  To enter the giveaway,

1.  Do you have any Beanie Babies?  I have Scorch plus the international bears.

2.  Comments are open through Saturday, May 2, 10 pm in Baltimore.

3.  I'll post the winners on Sunday, May 3, on my book blog, SOS Aloha.

Mahalo,

Kim in Baltimore
Aloha Spirit in Charm City


Here's my personalized gift
from Valerie Bowman.

  6. What an awesome review and taste of the fun stuff that went on at the Barbara Vey Readers Luncheon last weekend in Milwaukee. The picture above with my name ... is actually Kelsey Browning's brilliant work. My table had a SAND DOLLAR COVE theme. That's the book I wrote for Brenda Novak's 10-book box set SWEET TALK that will be out on May 1. All proceeds go to find the cure for #Diabetes...so I hope all y'all will check it out and pass it along! http://www.amazon.com/Contemporary-Romances-Bestselling-Diabetes-Research-ebook/dp/B00R5CZ4ZM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1430253421&sr=8-1&keywords=sweet+talk+box+set
