Elaine Viets Mystery Book Signing Helps Lupus
For all you readers and writers out there, or those looking to help support a good cause, I thought you might be interested in this book signing event with Elaine Viets -- native of St. Louis, Missouri where the event takes place. A portion of the proceeds goes to The Lupus Foundation of America. My brother went to high school with Elaine. (This is a St. Louis thing--"Where'd you go to high school?") I had the pleasure of listening to her at the Missouri Writers' Guild where she was the guest speaker and caused the audience to laugh silly. I'm honored to be in the same anthology with her, Storm Country, where Elaine was kind enough to help support that project for the Joplin Tornado victims. I was at another event Elaine did helping yet another cause. And those are the ones I know about! My cousin has Lupus, so I would love to be there, but I will be out of town. I will be purchasing a copy of her book. After all, it's signed and it helps a great cause. This is a win-win if you ask me.

I always enjoyed Elaine Viets column in the newspaper. I imagine her novels are funny.

Definitely a great cause!

She published a few columns about my granddaughter years ago. She is a home town girl who has had great success and is now giving back. Thanks for the heads up on this.
ReplyDeleteI used to read her column in the Post Dispatch. Hopefully, I read her better than I read that promo. I imagined a book signing that was a mystery. Like, try to find the book signing. Which would not be a very good advertising method for a book signing.
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn,
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know about Elaine's event. She was a great speaker at the MWG conference a couple years ago. I took lots of notes because she definitely knows what she's talking about when it comes to writing--and she's funny to boot.
A very good cause, indeed. I wish I lived close enough to attend.
ReplyDeleteAnother example of writers with big hearts!

ReplyDeleteHi Lynn! Thanks for sharing this info with us. Hopefully, I will be able to attend.
ReplyDeleteBesides her column, I've read one of her books and found it to be fast paced and very fun with a cleverly unfolding mystery. Add "good cause" to the mix, and I can't think of much better.
