One of the best kind of book events is the kind sponsored by news media. Authors are sure to get publicity. For example, here's one held every February:
Page Turner Luncheon
in Orangeburg, SC, which benefits Newspapers in Education, an issue I strongly support. It's sponsored by The Times and Democrat, the local daily newspaper.Three authors appear every year for this ticketed event...last week, Janna McMahan and I were the featured authors.

Each table had a clever, beautiful flower arrangement.
