Debra Glass' Pics From The Heart of Dixie 2009 Annual Reader's Luncheon

Heart of Dixie RWA Chapter Published Authors

The annual Heart of Dixie Romance Chapter's Reader's Luncheon is a fan favorite every year. Attendees enjoy lunch with their favorite Heart of Dixie authors, and there are plenty of opportunities to win fabulous author baskets, books, and more.

This year, the keynote speaker was New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Vicki Lewis Thompson. She has written more than ninety novels and has appeared on Regis and Kelly with her successful Nerd in Shining Armor. Now she is inspired by her background (an ancestor who was accused of witchcraft, a love of potions - especially those concocted in a martini shaker - and a great fondness for black cats) to write paranormal romantic comedy.

Catch Vicki blogging at Soap Box Queens.
