Texas Book Festival, October 30-31

We have only FOUR slots left for authors in our Texas Book Festival booth, so if you'd like to sell and sign your book during this important literary festival, please do so THIS WEEK -- time is running out! We still need a few more volunteers to help out at the booth. If you're planning to attend, why not spend an hour or two with your Story Circle friends at our booth? For details about volunteering and signing up as an author, go to www.storycircle.org/txbookfest.shtml. For more info on the event, see www.texasbookfestival.org. If you have a SCN friend who might be interested, please pass this information along to her!
