Publishers Weekly blogger Barbara Vey is organizing a Reader Appreciation luncheon at the Oak Creek Community Center in Oak Creek WI on April 10 that will include 38 authors (mostly romance, since they will be in Chicago for the Romantic Times Convention), as well as editors and representatives from various publishing houses.
Cost of the event is $35. It includes lunch, the privilege of sitting at a table with an author, and gift bags full of books and door prizes.
Raffle prizes will include an acoustic guitar with accessories, a color Nook and baskets of books.
Author Heather Graham, whose books have been on the New York Times bestseller list, will be keynote speaker and available to sign books.
Luncheon proceeds will be donated to local libraries.
