Author Panel and Signing with Rebecca Kenney and Rebekka DeReu
We are hosting local authors Rebekka DeReu and Rebecca Kenney for a panel discussion and signing. THIS IS A FREE EVENT! But we are asking that you “purchase” tickets here so that we can gauge numbers. I will host the conversation and afterwards you will be able to purchase copies of the authors’ new releases for signing. This is such an exciting opportunity to support Greenville’s local romance authors, so I really hope to see you there.
Details about the authors and their new releases can be found here.
