Give up?
We are all featured authors at the Gaithersburg Book Festival this Saturday (May 15)!
I know, right?
The festival is an all-day affair, featuring many well-known local writers (and me, too). There will be workshops, seminars, presentations, signings, poetry readings, music, food, fun, and books, books, books!
Admission is free!
My presentation begins at 10:00 a.m. in the Dashiell Hammett Pavilion. After I finish, stick around to hear Meredith Cole, author of the Agatha-nominated POSED FOR MURDER and the newly-released DEAD IN THE WATER, speak at 11:00 a.m. in the same pavilion.
For all the details, including directions and parking info, visit the Gaithersburg Book Festival website.
HOPE TO SEE YOU AT THE FESTIVAL ON SATURDAY!

And all those other writers are saying, "I'm going to be at Gaithersburg with Alan Orloff!"
Wish I could be there. Best of luck to you. Sounds like it will be a great day.
