MONTHLY WRITERS' MIXERS

Writers' Mixers happen the first Saturday of each month, at 5pm.  The events are free and do not require a reservation. 

December 3, 2011, 5pm

Featuring Cheri Lasota,

author of Artemis Rising

This month, we'll welcome Portlander Cheri Lasota, author of the young adult historical fantasy Artemis Rising.  Cheri signed on with Vancouver publisher SpireHouse Books for Artemis Rising, and a couple of months ago, along with her publisher, Cheri brought the e-card edition of her e-book to us here at Cover to Cover Books.  We were thrilled with the opportunity to sell e-books here in the bookstore, and invited Cheri to present at one of our writers mixers. 

Along with writing fiction, Cheri has a long history in the publishing industry as an editor, editing screenplays, fiction, non-fiction and short stories for publication.  Cheri will share her experiences in the industry, and focus on the e-card experiment, as well as read an excerpt of her book.

Learn more about Cheri at her blog, or follow her on Twitter at @CheriLasota.
