Lynn Slaughter
Lynn just learned that one of her all-time favorite novels, Leisha’s Song, was named a Maxi Awards finalist in the middle grade/young adult category.
Lynn says “Feeling very grateful!”
Jenise Hale
Jenise represented the Derby Rotten Scoundrels at the Imagined Stanzas & Local Lit Book Fest. The event was held at the Bluegrass Vineyard in Smiths Grove, KY on April 18.
Our chapter anthology, Mystery with a Splash of Bourbon, was a big hit and sold out quickly.
Jenise’s book, Gossamer Key, also sold well.
It was a great opportunity to meet other local authors and visit a destination winery.
