Finer Points:

What is the menu comprised of?

We are offering a buffet brunch this year, to include both sweet and savory options. Drink options include complimentary mimosas and bloody Marys as well as coffee, tea, and juice.

Where shall I find my place card?

There is no order of precedence when selecting a seat. Each table will host a special guest. However, guests will have the opportunity to engage with all the authors.

What is included in the ticket price?

Buffet brunch, ninety minutes of selected alcoholic/adult beverages, unlimited coffee, tea, and juice, exclusive gifts and prizes, and a morning of fun with new and old friends.

What is not included in the ticket price?

Alcoholic beverages not included in the list above (i.e., bellinis, wine, beer, etc.), nonalcoholic drinks such as sodas, and any additional drinks ordered after the ninety minutes ends (approximately 11:30 a.m.).

What should I wear to this portmanteau of breakfast and lunch?

According to the latest fashion plates, the diamonds of the first water are selecting ensembles suitable for a garden party or family affair.

How will I know who the other attendees are?

Everyone will be provided with a name tag. Please check your electronic correspondence for more information.

Will authors be signing books or other materials?

We are not having book signings. This is intended to be an intimate morning of conversation.

Should I bring anything?

We will host a book swap again after the success of the last one. Attendees should feel free to bring a book or ten to share with others. You do not have to bring a book to participate in the swap. Please try to refrain from bringing a valise of books.

I'm coming from out of town. Is there an inn nearby? Preferably with "only one bed"?

Yes. We have a room block with the Hotel Indigo a few blocks away. It is a mere three minute stroll to get to the venue. Upon procuring your ticket to the event, your electronic correspondence confirmation will contain information on reserving your room.

Please note: We may be taking pictures of the event and posting them online.
