Meet Arizona authors at ArtFest

New for this year’s event, “Book Street” gathers the authors all in one area, near the Scottsdale Mondrian hotel at the northwest corner of the festival site, in Old Town Scottsdale.
A few travel writers, including Christine K. Bailey, author of Destinations: A Complete Guide to Phoenix, Scottsdale, Sedona and Central Arizona, and Teresa Bitler, whose Great Escapes Arizona was just released are scheduled to appear.
Also plan to see arts & crafts booths, food and live music at the festival on both days.

Thank you for being so generous in naming all 20 of us that participated at the Art Fest – it was a great event and I am so happy that I was one of them. It is such a great way to meet and great the public and to get to know others in our industry.
You did a great job speaking at our AZ Book Publishers meeting a few months ago and have outdone yourself here with this blog and reference to our websites. Happy Holidays and best to you.
FYI – I will be speaking at a FREE event sponsored by AZ Book Pub and Barnes and Noble at the store on 90th and Shea – Jan 8 2009 at 7 .m., – speaking about the journey of writing – please come. Love to have you visit along with some of your friends. Happy New Year too. Patricia
Patricia,
Thanks for visiting. I’ll try to pop in at the Barnes & Noble even in January, though I’m busy with my travel book. That’s what’s keeping me up nights these days.
It was my pleasure speaking to your group. I had a great time.
All my best,
Jackie
