lagilmanOn Saturday, August 5, from 1:30 to 4:30 pm, four noted authors of the Persephone Writers Organization will be autographing their books at Hard Bean Coffee & Booksellers (410-263-8770) at 36 Market Place in Annapolis, Maryland. Together for one day, Karen E. Taylor, author of Blood Red Dawn and President of the Persephone Writers Organization, Laura Anne Gilman, author of Staying Dead (me!), Tina Jens, author of The Blues Ain’t Nothin’, and Barbara J. Ferrenz, author of Worse Than Death, will be appearing at Hard Bean, an independent bookseller and café overlooking the Annapolis Harbor in the historic district.
Historic Annapolis is host to fine restaurants, shopping, and colonial architecture. One could easily fill a day touring historic buildings, visiting museums and the Naval Academy, taking a boat excursion, eating fresh seafood, and shopping in the boutiques lining the cobblestone streets.
The Persephone Writers Organization was formed two years ago to promote the professional education and advancement of women writers of the dark literary arts, to raise the level of awareness of women’s past and current contributions to the field, to provide support, camaraderie, and information about the art and business of writing, and to establish a unified voice against discrimination and inequities in the treatment of female authors of dark fiction and non-fiction.
