On A Sea Voyage... coming in April

on a sea voyage...
a virtual book event
April 14-21, 2013

Join me for some make believe.

Follow me on an ocean adventure in April.

This will be an interactive event, so prepare to meet swashbuckling sailors and misfit crews.

We will also most likely encounter...

unpleasant pirates

alluring mermaids

otherworldly destinations

AND

treasure troves -- of books ;-)

Give a me a hearty YO HO in comments if you plan to be here for a most fantastical voyage.
