I hope you’ll join me again this year as I feature a different Rhode Island author every day in November. For the past few years, this has served as a lead-up to our annual RI Authors Expo. This year the Expo will be a virtual event, but the November showcase will be just as much fun, with a couple of great prizes and lots of books to give away!
Each day a member of the Association of Rhode Island Authors will be featured here. You can learn a little about the author as well as their book(s). Many authors will offer a giveaway, and your comment on that day’s blog post enters you into the author’s drawing.
But wait, there’s more! Your daily comment also enters you into our Grand Prize and Bonus Prize drawings. You can get up to 30 entries just by commenting – of course, all of our authors appreciate your likes and follows, too. The Grand Prize is a $200 Amazon gift card, just in time for some serious holiday shopping, and the Bonus Prize is a $100 Amazon gift card.
You can follow this blog by email, and I’ll also be sharing the daily posts to my Facebook pages.
Meanwhile, enjoy the month of October! Due to the rainfall shortage here in New England, we have some spectacular color. But we could use some rain. I know that other areas of the country, especially the West, are in difficult shape, so my thoughts are always with all of you on the West coast. Around the globe, there is uncertainty. Know that I’m acutely aware. I just see this blog as a way to momentarily escape, and it’s my intent to give you an outlet, even if for just a few moments, to step away from the news headlines and negativity. Life continues. Breathe.

Reading, author interviews and book reviews have been an important part of my survival kit these past months. Your daily author/book blogs will be a welcome addition to this kit.
