Public Speaking and all that is Awful that Goes with It

Happy Monday, all!

Well, this month stinks already.

I know that's quite an opener, but I believe in being upfront and honest. :)

I have two speaking engagements this month. Not long ones. I've given bigger presentations, but still...

Does it ever get easier? I'm waiting for that to happen.

This Thursday I have a brief--I mean, BRIEF--talk to give for the Friends and Volunteers of our Library's annual Author’s Luncheon featuring Carl Bernstein.

Just in case you don't know...
Carl Bernstein is an American investigative journalist and author. Along with Bob Woodward at The Washington Post, he did the majority of the most important news reporting on the Watergate scandal. These scandals led to numerous government investigations and the eventual resignation of President Richard Nixon. For his role in breaking the scandal, Bernstein received many awards, and his work helped earn the Post a Pulitzer Prize for Public Service in 1973.

Um, yeah...
I'll be speaking before him. Apparently, it's sold out too. Oh, goody. More people to embarrass myself in front of. :)

In other more pleasant news, there is a really nice fall author event online starting next week.

I will be blogging there at Ramblings From This Chick on October 14th and will be giving away the PRINT version of Fiancé by Fate.

That's it for me. I need to go practice my speech. :)

Have a great week!
