Sore Butt Muscles Puts Joysann in Charge

May 12, 2009

Wendy Corsi Staub and her father with the MCDL Staff/Writers Live Committee


Hi Everyone!  joysann here.

Barbara is whining about her butt muscles after bowling yesterday, so I thought I'd give her a break from her blog writing chair, and tell about the local author event I went to the other day.  Here goes:


Best-
selling author Wendy Corsi Staub was featured at Medina County District Library's Writers Live Luncheon on Thursday, May 6th. Along with the Friends of the Library, the Medina OH library hosts these Writers Live luncheons to give readers the opportunity to meet favorite authors, be introduced to new ones, and to hear them speak of their exciting adventures in writing and publishing. There were 220+ attendees at MCDL's 61st such event to meet Wendy Corsi Staub.

Wendy and me
The very prolific Wendy, aka Wendy Markham, writes thrillers and romance for adults, and YA fiction, recently a series called Lily Dale, featuring that NY community focused on the paranormal and occult. She told us one adult book she felt compelled to write is If Only in My Dreams (written as Wendy Markham), which concerns a woman with breast cancer, a subject that touches her too close to home. That Christmas love story is being considered for a TV presentation.  How cool is that!


The vivacious Wendy is a fun and interesting companion and I enjoyed my time in her company, as did her captivated audience at the luncheon.

Bottom Line: Now I could use the margarita I was accidentally served at dinner the night before, but had to refuse because I was driving. This blog writing is tough work!

Any problems posting comments, please email them to barbaravey@gmail.com and I'll post them for you.


Really Bottom Line:  Enjoy my first attempt at a Drive By Video...joysann

Great drive-by video -- and I love Wendy's dress! It looks like you had a fun time, even without the margarita.

I just want everyone to know that my rear end is fine this morning and to remind you all that I haven't bowled in 11 years. I used muscles I thought had died off a long time ago.
<br><br>Thanks, Joysann, for another job well done. Looks like the luncheon was a great success.

Wendy's dress is so much like the one Julia Roberts wears to the polo match in Pretty Woman!
Thanks for the video!

I loved the event--what a pleasure to be surrounded by so many friendly faces and new friends! Joysann, you and I will have to have a margarita at RWA to make up for the one that went to waste! Thank you, everyone, for the compliments on the dress. I bought it on sale at Macy's in the middle of last week's book tour--I had gone in looking for a coat because I was freezing (it was much colder in the midwest than it was when I left NYC Monday morning). They said they didn't sell coats (huh?) but of course I had to browse. And buy. :-)

Great job, Joysann!Sorry you couldn't find a coat, Wendy. Why is it they put the coats out in August and the bathing suits out in March? Makes no sense!

Great job filling in for Barbara, Joysann!
Glad that butt is feeling better...I give you credit, after not bowling in so long.
Add me to the list of loving that dress, Wendy, and it sure does resemble the Julia Roberts one. And a HUGE congrats to you on your success being on the USA Today best seller list! Way to go!

Thanks Joysann, for blogging the Writers Live event. Wendy was delightful. If you haven't read her as either Corsi Staub or Markham; run, don't walk to your nearest library or bookstore and pick up one of her books!
