A resounding success is the only way to sum up the Philippa Gregory author event that we, WNBA-SF, sponsored at Book Passage in Corte Madera last evening. Philippa delivered a passionate, unique, and interesting view of Mary, Queen of Scots (The Other Queen), complete with audio-visual. The enthusiastic gathering of over 90 admiring fans loved her. They were generous with their praise for Philippa and for WNBA-SF’s fine reception-wine and bubbly water flowed, delicious cheeses and dips were consumed, and crumbs were all that remained of a tasty cake.
We do good things! Recently joining WNBA-SF is proving to be one of the best things I’ve done in this realm of all things books. It’s great to play a role in cheering others on in their writing pursuits, honoring those authors who have made or are making their marks, and celebrating reading in general-October is National Reading Group Month.
The talented and hard working members of our chapter are fun to be around, smart, and interesting. This is a terrific group of people have already allowed me to feel the effects of their whole-hearted support for my writing. Thanks, everyone for making me feel so welcome and for putting me to work.

We are so glad you found us! Thank you for all your help at the event and I look forward to seeing much more of you. You have already been a great contributor to this blog! I love your article. We had a wonderful evening and photos will be coming to the blog shortly.
A big thanks to Book Passage and the wonderful Phillipa Gregory for their enthusiasm and generosity of time. What a great way to celebrate National Reading Group Month 2008.

I was so thrilled to hear Ms. Gregory speak. She was so generous with her time and I learned a lot more than just her writing regimen. She is a dedicated humanitarian who inspired me in many ways. I hope WNBA continues to honor writers of her caliber.
