Finally in person! After enjoying a lovely online CRAFT interview with Terry Roberts a few years ago during the COVID era, we are finally getting together in person to talk books, writing, inspiration, productivity, and and and… Terry is the author of The Sky Club and many more delicious novels. What’s even better? Terry is going to give us a sneak preview of his upcoming novel to be released this fall. I know from experience what a delightful conversation partner Terry is, so you won’t want to miss this edition of CRAFT: Authors in Conversation. As always, we will be sitting down at Asheville’s Little Jumbo cocktail bar and Terry will answer all your questions and sign all your books. Join us!
