Rachel Slaiman – My husband and I are doing 12 states in 12 months…June was Maryland, July was Pennsylvania, and August was Connecticut and Rhode Island.
Nadina LaSpina – I had my book (Such a Pretty Girl) launch at Barnes & Noble over the summer…the one in Union Square…I always wanted to launch my book at B&N.
Ken Schept – Over the summer I finished this novel that started off as short stories. I’ve worked on it over the years, and I just finished.
Eileen Donovan – I had my book Promises released by Waldorf Publishing in July. It’s a coming of age of two children who escaped from England to Canada during the German blitz.
Laurel Stokes – It was lovely. [I] visited some family and friends, and I actually had some time to relax and read some books. On the lighter side, I read Sophia of Silicon Valley, and then I read The Confessions of Frannie Langton.
