Author Talk and Book Signing

Live it/Write it!”

Melanie
Howard and Andrea Leidolf will tell aspiring writers and interested readers how
life experiences, memories and personal stories can be transformed into
marketable fiction in an entertaining program at the Duncan Branch Library, at
7 p.m. on December 16.

Howard
and Leidolf are the authors of the new comic novel, Queen of the Court, ($14.95, Match Point Press, ISBN

978-0-9895606-9-6) which chronicles the adventures of ex-stripper Shana Lee

Jones as she attempts to break into high society by buying a country club, and

joining the ladies tennis team, and filming it all for reality TV.

“We
took our pastime of ladies’ team tennis and built it into a narrative far more
colorful and imaginative than the reality,” says Howard. “But it’s that element
of personal experience that makes any fictional narrative convincing for the
reader.”

Signed
copies of Queen of the Court will be
available for sale for $14.95 each plus tax, with a portion of the proceeds
going to benefit the Friends of Duncan Library, so plan to do some holiday
shopping – signed books make great gifts! A free signed copy of Queen of the Court will be raffled off
at the event.

Queen of the Court is available in
paperback and eBook for Kindle on mazon.com (ASIN
B00DNBMZ6A) and
in various local retail outlets including Kiskadee, 2205 Mt. Vernon Avenue, and
Lux Salon, 108 South Patrick Street.
