I had a great time in Asheville from May 1st through 4th.
First, I took a tour of the Biltmore Estate. Gorgeous gardens and conservatory. I not only got sunburned, I walked my feet off. That's what I get for not wearing my sneakers!
That evening through Sunday, I attended the North Carolina Writers' Network (NCWN) spring conference. Ron Rash, the author of forty books, was our keynote speaker. I bought three of his novels. Not only have movies been made of his work, many of his works have been translated worldwide.
During our banquet, we were entertained by a woman who is a master of the ukulele and storytelling. I didn't catch her name, but she was enchanting. Her performance of There's a Hole in the Bucket was a crowd-pleaser.
After my last class on Sunday, Zachary Vernon gave his class attendees complementary copies of his book, Our Bodies Electric.
It was a fantastic weekend!
