My experience at an indie book fair proved that it is possible to cater to #booklovers, for #authors to make sales, to have presentations, and network. #BooksInBloom did a great job. You can also watch my short presentation on handling violence during violent times. www.amberunmasked.co... #booksky

Working on our reader event, #BooksinBloom and the hotel industry is giving me a headache. Like, why you think I can spend $18k on food and beverages for a day and a half event??
