Pam Kimmell Member Registered: 01/27/04 Posts: 1423 Loc: Warrenton, Virginia	ATTENTION BOOK 'EM BOOMERS! Trish Terrell was on her way out the door for a weekend trip but passed on this info which I'm in turn passing on to all of you coming to Book 'Em in October: The Quality Inn, Waynesboro at 640 West Broad Street has offered a discount to all authors attending the event. The rate is (she thinks) around $65/day or $75/day for double occupancy with 2 double beds. You must mention that you are an author with the Book 'Em Event when you make your reservation. Their phone number is 540-942-1171. There are other hotels available (but this is the only one offering the group discount) - there's a link on the Book 'Em website for other hotel info.

Pam Kimmell Member Registered: 01/27/04 Posts: 1423 Loc: Warrenton, Virginia	Well, the hotel couldn't POSSIBLY know if you are or are not an author attending Book 'Em now could they???? HAHA This is a great chance to not only meet any Boomer Chicks attending, but LOTS of great authors who will be there to autograph books and give lectures, etc. Unique, you might like to check out the "authors attending" link on the BookEmFoundation website to see if any of your favorites (other than us of course!!) are going to be there! http://bookemfoundation.com

Pam Kimmell Member Registered: 01/27/04 Posts: 1423 Loc: Warrenton, Virginia	The Book 'Em Foundation website indicates that while a LOT of authors are unable to attend in person, they have donated books (some autographed!).....they include David Baldacci, John Connolly, and Scott Turow who just happen to be three of my favorites....wish they could have come to the event. They set up a section in the gymnasium last year where all of these donations were available for purchase. I plan to bring a LARGER "mad money" supply with me this year so I can buy more books than last year. It's a book lovers' dream come true!

Pam Kimmell Member Registered: 01/27/04 Posts: 1423 Loc: Warrenton, Virginia	Hey Boomer Girls....just thought I'd RE-POST the address and info on the Waynesboro motel that has given authors attending "Book 'Em" a discount rate. I know if I post something new it will move this topic back up to the top of the "Writing" thread!! The Quality Inn Waynesboro 640 West Broad Street $62.86 for single $71.36 for double Phone: 540-942-1171 Mention you are attending "Book 'Em" event! Hope to see some of my Boomer Sisters there.....

Sherri Member Registered: 03/12/04 Posts: 1177 Loc: Decatur, Illinois	Pam, No where could I find a registration fee? Is there one? Do we have to take books or can we just attend? Does anyone want to share a room? Just thinking ahead.

Pam Kimmell Member Registered: 01/27/04 Posts: 1423 Loc: Warrenton, Virginia	Hi Sherri! There is no registration fee for the authors or entry fee for those coming to meet authors or buy books. The public is invited to attend and it's well advertised in the area and out of the area. Last year I did meet a few authors who attended and hadn't brought books to sell or participate on a panel, etc.....they just wanted to meet some of their favorite authors and get some autographed copies of their books. I don't know if anyone is looking for a "roomie" but hopefully if they are they will let you know!!! Would love for you to be there with us Sherri....
