My recent book signing was a fun night of networking and meeting and greeting readers. This is the second time my husband, John, and I have been to this venue.
Zorvino Vineyards is a lovely place to sit and sample wines and have some delicious coconut chicken and waffle fries. Yum!
Stephen Lomer and Artemus Crow (fellow authors at even)
We ate the chicken and waffle fries but no wine. We had to be alert and able to converse with others. LOL!
The Zorvino staff and owners are lovely people and were gracious hosts to us. This venue was coordinated and run by Chris and Nancy Obert of Pear Tree Publishing. They are wonderful to do all that they do for us indie authors. This venue is one of three that they run each year.

Last year we did attend the other two but found this one to be the most fun and lucrative for our books. It was nice to see old friends and make new ones.
