Steve Berry Event

January 25, 2012

The Steve Berry events next weekend will be so much fun.  The workshop is filling up fast and we really need to give him a warm welcome back to Macon.  Get your tickets for the reception on soon!  Have you read any of his books?  I've read The Amber Room and  Charlemagne's Pursuit, both were great.  I learned a lot and had fun in the process. They are historic fiction international thrillers.  Please join us next Friday at the Armory Ballroom but let us know ahead of time so we have plenty to eat and drink!
