The Association of Rhode Island Authors is proud to announce that the Rhode Island Author Expo will be going virtual this year.
The Expo committee has been working hard to learn what needs to be done to put on a free virtual event.
The Rhode Island Author Expo website has been updated with a registration button, panel schedule and participating authors.
The event will be running from 10 AM – 5 PM and will be held on Zoom.
There’re author panels just like in years past along with keynote speakers and this year we’re trying something different with an author kaffeeklatsch, a nice intimate setting to sit down and talk to one of our many local authors.
I hope to see you at the Expo in December where I’ll be on two panels and a kaffeeklatsch.
You can find my schedule here.

Two novels to spotlight this month.
The first is The Cymage by Dave Walsh
With each cough death looms closer.
Only an experimental technology can save him.
New meaning enters his life when a foreign leader asks the humble monk Am’ranth to help solidify his legacy during a time of peace. That legacy?
A weapon unlike any other.
Their friendship is the stuff of legends; their rivalry reshaped humanity’s future.
A novelette set in Dave Walsh’s Andlios universe, the Cymage provides a glimpse into the rich history of the planet Andlios before the events of Terminus Cycle.
The second book is Reverb by David Fuentes
It’s ‘The Inbetweeners’ meets ‘Groundhog Day.’
‘Reverb: Live, Die, Rave, Repeat’ tells the epic story of six young and adventurous students who get to relive the first day of their, no holds barred, holiday to the hedonistic party haven of Magaluf over and over and over again.
