Nora’s going back to Ireland for vacation this year so we’ll all have a chance to live vicariously through her travelogues.
This year, though, there’s a twist!
Nora’s UK publisher, Little Brown Group, will host a once-in-a-lifetime event on Sunday, August 17: An Audience and Afternoon Tea with Nora Roberts at Ashford Castle. For all the details, please visit: http://www.nora-roberts.co.uk/2014/06/27/meet-nora-roberts/
When I posted that news on Facebook this morning, the comments included a chorus of “will you come to (fill in the blank)?” Let’s face it, if Nora visited every city — or even just various central hubs — of readers, she’d never get home again. It’s just not possible.
She asked me to post this on her behalf and I’m copying it here:
I wish I could go everywhere and meet readers, but mostly I stay home and write.
Several times a year I participate at events at Turn The Page Bookstore in Boonsboro, Maryland — and that offers opportunities for readers east of the Mississippi. The next event is Saturday July 19 from noon – 2 pm. For more details please visitwww.ttpbooks.com.
This year I’ll be in San Antonio for the Romance Writers of American conference–and am delighted to participate again in the Readers For Literacy signing– on Wednesday, July 23, 2014 from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. at the San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter Hotel in the 3rd floor ballroom. For more details, please visit www.rwa.org.
That might make it easier for those of you west of the Mississippi to attend an event.
Then, in August my husband and I, along with our younger son and his wife, will travel to Ireland. The August 17 event at the gorgeous Ashford Castle should be just wonderful — and may make it easier for those of you in Ireland, the UK, and western Europe to attend an event.
Only one of me, and thankfully, lots and lots of you. It’s just not possible to visit all the fabulous places where you live, and continue to write the books you enjoy. NR
Hi Nora,
Absolutely love your series stories set in Ireland, and always wanted to go there. (My husbands family came from Ireland during the potato famine.) However, if you ever find yourself wanting to do a book signing say north of the border, in Canada, specifically Nova Scotia, or more specifically, Halifax, please know there are tons of fans of yours here, of which I am one!
Have a very safe and wonderful trip!
Or you could come to Canada and visit your fans a little farther north-west!!! 😉 more specifically Toronto Ontario. There are tons of fans here to. I understand that this is not necessarily possible, but I couldn’t help but tease. Can’t wait for your next Dark Witch and in death books.
Looking forward to your adventures in Ireland this summer! I hope you have a marvelous time and enjoy the people lucky enough to get to meet you there!
hope this means another trilogy set in Ireland in the works 🙂
have a safe trip and make many wonderful memories!
Would love to attend the tea. Sadly, they have not invented safe teleporting yet and I love on this side of the pond. I’m determined to make it back to TTP for a signing one of these days.
Alright! San Antonio is on the agenda! I live in Fort Worth ~ an easy distance away straight down the interstate! I’m planning to be there for the book signing!
I vote for a vist to a couple places in Canada as well! 😉 There is always hope!
Wishing you a wonderful family holiday that brings inspired ideas for a new Irish trilogy!!
I love the fact that you stay put and “do what you do” BEST!! Keep on doing what you are doing and we will be here to cheer you on!
The Dark Witch series is wonderful. Please do another series from Ireland. I was wondering when the anouncement of the winner of the Ireland trip giveaway is. Would love to visit…
Really enjoy all of your books. Have read The Witness a number of times.
Please let us know when doing a book signing next year and where.
Thank you for you great stories
