Incredible Cocktail Party Planned!

Besides the sun and fun of summer, June brings with it an incredible cocktail party at my home which was orchestrated by talented author, Krisitna McMorris and  Doernbecher's Children's Hospital board members. Lucky bid winners will have an opportunity to rub elbows with an amazing group of authors - many of whom I'm sure you know.  Here's my attendance list:
