Dress up like a Greek God and win a prize!

This week I have two exciting speaking engagements.

 

On Thursday June 7 I’ll be speaking for the third time at Allen County Public Library for Young Adults/Homeschoolers. With the summer library reading program’s theme of ‘Epic’, YA librarian Cathy Lambert & I came up with the idea of challenging those attending to dress up like their favorite Greek God/ goddess/ monster.

 

Prizes will be awarded for the best costume. I’ll be talking about the writing of my 3 Greek Gods books. But I’ll also be dressed up in my own costume. Can you guess who I might dress up as?

 

Hint: I’ll not be in costume for any of the characters I wrote about since they are all male – Hades, Hephaestus, Hermes. So I’ll be dressed as a female figure.

 

Hint 2: I created a special head covering for this costume because my female Greek monster was especially known for it.

 

I showed my head covering to my daughter today as we Skyped and she called it ‘hideous’. Yeah! That’s just the type of reaction I want to get from people because the monster I’m in costume for was hideous!

 

OK! That’s all the hints. I’ll post photos of my costume, complete with the flowing, peach-colored gown my mother-in-law wore to our wedding, after the event.

 

Everyone is welcome to attend.

You don’t have to be a homeschooler or dressed in costume to attend.

I’ve spoken to this group the past two years on my other books. It’s always a joy to return. Posts on those appearances can be found by doing a search on ‘Allen County Public Library’.

Tomorrow I’ll post about my other speaking engagement which takes place on Friday.
