Two Out of Three Authors



"Two Out of Three Authors..."

New at Gregory's Bistro
in Historic Downtown Plano
Tuesday, June 16 - 7 pm
1022 E 15th Street, Plano, TX

Meet local authors Karen Harrington (Janeology) and Robert Rummel-Hudson (Schuyler's Monster) for an entertaining night of stories, writing advice and thoughts on a year in the life of a debut author.

Admission is free, but come early as seating is limited. Gregory’s Bistro is BYOB.

Karen Harrington is the author of the suspense novel Janeology, a unique blend of legal drama and psychological suspense that poses the question, how much of what a person does is due to nature and nurture?

Karen’s writing has received recognition from the Hemingway Short Story Festival, the Texas Film Institute, the Austin Film Festival and Writer’s Digest. Prior to publishing her novel, she was a corporate speechwriter for EDS and Greyhound Bus Lines.

Robert Rummel-Hudson is the author of the memoir Schuyler's Monster: A Father’s Journey with His Wordless Daughter. The book tells the story of raising a little girl with a disability and learning to become the father she needs.

Robert has been writing online since 1995. During that time, his work has been recognized by the Diarist Awards. His story has been featured in articles in the Austin Chronicle, the New Haven Register, the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. He has been featured on American Public Radio’s Weekend America, WFAA’s Good Morning Texas and KERA’s Think with Krys Boyd.

Right on! Sounds like a fun time. I am excited to visit Texas and Dallas for the AT Conference in July!

So when are you coming to DC?

"Historic Downtown Plano"????

I was unaware that such a place existed! You mean there is something historic in Plano?

Almost worth the trip from Austin just to see that!

There is indeed a little place on the east side of town that looks like any little Texas town center, with old shops and whatnot. I may go take photos.

And yeah, I lived here about a year before I ever saw it. I think the town has grown so big and so much to the west and north that it doesn't really feel like Plano.

It is weirdly cute, for Plano.

Will you ever bring Schuyler to Walt Disney World and do a talk in the same trip? I live in Central FL and would love to hear you speak in person.
