Christian Authors Book Signing Event - Saturday, November 28, Virginia Avenue Church of God, Hagerstown, Maryland

How - What - When - and How

On a sunny afternoon, in mid-September, three writers met for lunch for the first time. Over cups of steaming green tea and plates of fried rice, Leah Morgan expressed her love for Christian authors and her desire to bring them and readers together in the central/western Maryland area. Wanda Dyson and Rita Gerlach, both published authors, were enthused about the idea. 

Thus was born the idea of a joint book signing event at Leah's church. In one week, the event evolved from a few authors to ten, with Borders sponsoring the event, talking up a coffee bar, and an event that would please the most discriminating of readers with book giveaways, gift baskets to be raffled, and free items sent in from CBA authors from across the country.

Virginia Avenue Church of God in Hagerstown, Maryland is hosting the event and is happy to greet everyone through their doors into a hall decked with Christmas flare and a table of delicious baked goods. Readers will have the chance to meet some of the finest Christian authors in the book world, such as Christy Award winner Cathy Gohlke, best selling suspense author Wanda Dyson, whose book 'Why I Jumped' was featured on Oprah, and Rita Gerlach, author of romantic historical fiction whose novel Surrender the Wind is one of Abingdon Press' first books in their new line of fiction.  

Mark your calendar! You won't want to miss this. Saturday, November 28, from 1 to 4 pm.
