FIRST NOTICE OF 3 NATIONALLY ACCLAIMED AUTHORS COMING TO VHOB ON TUESDAY, JULY 15

Are you impressed because I used all caps?  Did it make you take more notice?  Good to hear because we really do have a fantastic lineup of nationally known authors coming to VHOB on the same night - Tuesday, July 15.  Here they are:

Sophie Littlefield, House of Glass.  Sophie won the Anthony Award for Best First Novel. She has also been nominated for an Edgar Award, the most prestigious award for mystery writers.  But Sophie doesn't limit herself to mysteries.  She's also written historical fiction and YA's, for a total of 16 books (including 4 series).

Rachael Herron, pack up the Moon.  Rachael is an international best-selling author.  She has written 7 books, 6 novels and 1 memoir.  And she seems to know a little about knitting.  She writes the Cypress Hollow series.  And she is a Kiwi (New Zealander) as well as an American. 

Gigi Pandian, Pirate Vishnu.  Gigi is a USA Today bestselling author.  Pirate Vishnu is her 2nd book in the Jaya Jones Treasure Hunt Mystery series.  She also has a short story that was nominated for the Agatha Award.  Gigi's parents are cultural anthropologists, one from New Mexico and the other from India.

SPECIAL REQUEST:  Balcony 7, which publishes the Salty Splashes collection, among others, is in the running for funding from Crowdfunding.  But they need votes before the end of the day tomorrow (I know, it's not much notice).  I am enclosing a link that you can click on for voting.  Randy Lee Morkved, the president, and JZ Bingham, the vice-president and author of the Salty Splashes Collections, have asked for our support.
