Though I’m in “Deadline Hell” right now (an affectionate term, I assure you…) I am excited about an upcoming workshop being held by our Calgary Chapter this Saturday. Mary Balogh is coming to Calgary! There will be a booksigning at the Dalhousie Station Chapters from 4 – 6 on Friday night. I plan to stock up on some books!
Then on Saturday we have our workshop, and I’m hoping for major inspiration. I have two sets of revisions and a manuscript to complete by May 4. (See aforementioned reference to “Deadline Hell.”)
At any rate, in preparation for the workshop, I bought one of Mary Balogh’s books, which I’m reading bits of every evening. Is anyone else out there a fan of her work? I don’t usually read historicals, but I’m finding this one a lovely escape. I clipped the cover from Amazon, to show you which book I mean. It’s the first of a new series and I’m hoping to get it autographed on Friday!
I haven’t ever read her work as I don’t usually read historicals either BUT I am reading one that I won an ARC called A Vote of Confidence. OH MY GOODNESS I love it so far. I think I could really get into historicals
Val, I know what you mean. Mary Balogh has an enchanting way of pulling you into the story because her charaters are so real. Listening to her speak two weeks ago, I realized she has a genuine passion for her stories and that comes through.
