Author Event at Flintridge Books
Pen And Ink Was There!

Last Sunday, bookstore owner extraordinaire, Catherine Linka, invited 11 authors to a Mother/Daughter/ Authors Book party at Flintridge Bookstore; the event was co-sponsored by LA Parent Magazine.

C. Linka with S. Berger
 The stellar roll call:

Gayle Brandeis -My Life With The Lincolns
Carolyn Hennesy- Pandora Series 











Carol Hughes - The Princess and the Unicorn
Kathleen O'Dell - Agnes Parker Series










Naomi Hirahara - 1001 Cranes













Randi Barrow - Saving Zasha


Sherri Smith - Flygirl



Amy Goldman Koss – The Girls

Margaret Stohl - Beautiful Creatures

 



Morgan Matson - Amy & Roger's Epic Detour




Cecil Castelucci - Beige













The authors met and spoke with 3rd through 9th grade girls and their mothers. The girls were rotated from table to table so that everyone had a change to speak with all the authors.


Pen & Ink spoke to the authors, asking the questions that only Pen & Ink dares to ask. Stay tuned to this blog as Pen & Ink will feature exciting interviews with the authors.

So RUN! Don't walk to Flintridge Bookstore and buy these books.

  2. Dear MIR,
    If you weren't so busy stuffing your face with cookies and punch, maybe you would have appeared in a photograph with an authors.

  8. MIR, I am wondering why were you at a Mother/Daughter event eating all the kids snacks?

  9. Lee Rae,
    Like, I was framed, okay? It wasn't me. I was just holding it for a friend. Everybody does it.

  11. Danielle,
    We enjoyed the event, too. Too bad somebody - we're not mentioning any names - spent his or her time stuffing his or her face with snacks instead of taking photos.
