And a book signing

Wenches Joanna and Mary Jo will be signing books in Charlottesville, Virginia this Saturday morning, March 23, as part of the five-day Virginia Festival of the Book.

The Romance portion of the Festival is an all-day event with more than a dozen Romance writers. We'll be on the 10 am panel -- Harridans & Hoydens: Researching Independent Women in History and Historical Romance -- with Romance writers Grace Burrowes and Kristen Callihan and with historical biographer Jehanne Wake.

Click on the poster to see a list of authors who'll be at the event.

It should be an interesting day. Please come by and say hello. More information here and here.
