Western Writers of America Conference Book Signing

The WWA Conference sponsored a huge book signing at the Albuquerque Barnes & Noble. Fun event with loads of fans of Western books, both fiction and non-fiction.

Tonight is the big finale with the Spur Awards dinner.

The week had flown by and it will be a disappointment to leave for home tomorrow. The WWA is full of great people who are also great writers.

Western Writers of America Conference

The Western Writers of America will hold their annual conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico on June 12-16, 2012. I'll be attending with my wife. Ought to be great fun. There will be a book signing by all the authors at Barnes and Noble, Coronado Mall from 4:00 to 7:00 on Friday, June 15. This will be a great celebration of the centennial for New Mexico and Arizona. By the way, New Mexico became a state on January 6, 1912, while my home state of Arizona became a state on February 14, 1912. New Mexico beat us by a month, but we get to claim to be the last contiguous state to join the union.
