Great Cause, Fun Time

On yeah, we enjoyed ourselves!

Congratulations to Frances & Friends Book Club on their two year anniversary. They celebrated by having a benefit luncheon for Beautiful Black Girls, Inc. and supporting local authors (Baton Rouge that is). They are a group of special ladies for sure.

We were at Vincent's City Club (caution: music so hit mute if you visit the site at work). Check it out if you visit Baton Rouge. The food was yummy. Authors in attendance were CJ Domino, LA Lewis, Stacy Renea Greer, Yvette Jasmine, Gisele Haralson and Dr. Raynando Banks.

The girls of BBG, Inc.served at little hostesses and did a fabulous job. We had a wonderful time. The authors are one talented group. Thanks again to Frances and Friends.

Great Cause

November 7th come join us for food, conversation and a chance to support a wonderful organization, Beautiful Black Girls, Inc. The mission of BBG, Inc. is to build the self-esteem of girls and teens. We live in a world where we females are bombarded with images that tell us we need to be different- taller, thinner, blonder, whatever. You know what I mean. BBG, Inc. is part of the solution- driving home the message to young black girls that they are beautiful.

Come out on November 7th from 12 noon to 2 pm to meet three local authors at Vincent's City Club in Baton Rouge, La. Tickets are $20 and will benefit Beautiful Black Girls, Inc. Write to me at lynn@lynnemery.com for information on tickets. Or you can pay at the door. So if you're in Baton Rouge or close by come out to meet local authors, have good food and do a good thing!

Great Panel and Lots of Info

The value of networking for writers can't be overstated. Readers even enjoy hearing authors talk about their creative process, too. I had a wonderful time listening to a group of dynamic authors. I'm going to introduce you to the other panel members. And by the way if you get a chance to attend such an event at your local library, bookstore or where ever it's held go!
