Book Signing and Speaking Engagement at the Roddenbery Memorial Library

/ A Witch's Burden, Event, General / By

I’ve been invited to a book signing and speaking engagement at the Roddenbery Memorial Library in Cairo, GA on March 7, 2020 at 11:00 am.

I am over the moon with excitement and very much appreciate this invitation from one of my favorite libraries—and one of the earliest adopters of my book. If you haven’t been to the facility, you really should do yourself a favor and check it out. Cairo is simply packed with history and it shows in their wonderful library.

In the next couple of weeks I’ll be working on an outline for the engagement and will update this post with a program, as well as any additional information as it becomes available.

[2/19/20 EDIT/UPDATE: I’ve updated this post today to include the announcement and speaking outline. See below. Please be sure to attend!]
