For the past two and a half years I’ve followed the blog written by Laura Best, author of Bitter, Sweet. We’ve exchanged many messages during this time, and I’ve interviewed her twice, the first time regarding Bitter, Sweet and the second for her latest novel Flying with a Broken Wing. On October 23rd I posted a review for the second book.

Although I’ve attempted a few times to connect in person with Laura, our paths never crossed…until Saturday.

Laura was at Chapters, Mic Mac Mall, Dartmouth, NS, signing copies of her book. I had to work that day, but fortunately I was only about five minutes away and my shift ended 45 minutes before Laura’s signing engagement finished.

So here we are…

Laura signed the copy of Flying with a Broken Wing I already owned. We chatted for a few minutes, and then the signing was over.

For your chance to meet Laura Best and pick up a signed copy of her book (they make great Christmas gifts), she has two upcoming engagements this Saturday November 9, 2013. They include:

12:00 pm to 1:30 pm: Coles Bookstore, New Minas, NS

3:30 pm to 5:00 pm: Coles Bookstore, Bridgewater, NS

If you’re in the area, stop by and say hello.
