LOL<br /><br />Congratulations on the Anthony! <br /><br />I have participated in Virtual events that provided captions, which is rare. This author has weekly Virtual events and her husband is the Tech guy. He is brilliant at adding captions to the Live chats! <br /><br />On another note, I was surprised that one of the authors on the Back Room is participating because as far as I knew, this author is Deaf, unless I misunderstood and it is the CHARACTER in the author's books who is Deaf? I wondered if this author gets Captions or has someone off camera translate for the author?<br /><br />DianaBibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764234701385787238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-13386600447210614822020-10-20T13:45:53.545-04:002020-10-20T13:45:53.545-04:00The Back Room and First Chapter Fun are so great. ...The Back Room and First Chapter Fun are so great.

California is pretty much open again, very few cases of the dreaded virus. Everyone is wearing masks and the weather is glorious, clear and only on the nineties. Everything bud open again, except the bars. Book clubs and some book stores have had some in person events with the number of participants limited. Currents regs allow 100 at indoor events. Many outdoor events, since our fall does not arrive this early.Susan Nelson-Holmdahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335059486795917272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-21305781169736189082020-10-20T12:31:21.724-04:002020-10-20T12:31:21.724-04:00WOOOO HOOOOO on the Anthony Award, Hank!!!

Like everyone else, I'm in awe of your ability to write award winning novels AND do your book tour events AND keep up with social media AND originate innovative programs like FIRST CHAPTER READS and THE BACK ROOM. Oh, and grow tomatoes in your garden!<br /><br />I think you and Jenn need to do a seminar on time management for creative people!

You're keeping so busy, and still finding time to finish a new book! <br /><br />I really enjoy the First Chapter Fun reads, and The Back Room sounds very cool as well. I do show up for some live-streamed events, although the only Zoom events I've done are staff meetings and the occasional grant writing seminar.
