That is awesome! And, Ruth, I must say that I feel rather lucky to 'know' you! I don't really know any famous people, but I count you as rather accomplished in the world, so I'm really fortunate to have had the privilege to read your comments that help me to know a bit about your personality, read some of your poems and read about your publishing success over the years. Man! I wish I could come to that! (And not for the refreshments, either haha) but I would feel special there in the audience because I kind of 'know' you.
I'm sure it will be fantastic! Good luck! Congratulations!

Ruth OMG, Heather. I am not famous! I am just one of thousands of poets struggling to have their voices heard.

Ruth I had a wonderful time yesterday at my reading . One of my favorite places to read. A lovely art gallery, a friendly and appreciative audience—what more could I want?

Oh, and I sold quite a few books.
