Gail Rubin will be the featured speaker at the NM Book Co-op lunch at Golden Corral in Albuquerque near Cliff’s on Friday, October 28. Meeting starts at noon but people start coming for lunch as early as 11am.

Gail will be talking about how her new book and books in general give authors a leg up and portray them as “experts.” Gail has an impressive resume and has made a name for herself as the Doyenne of Death. This is her month!

Gail’s message is important above and beyond the whole Halloween thing. We are all going to die so get ready for it and do it your way. Dying is a mind-set. It doesn’t have to be scary. It is an event that will happen to everyone.

Being an author of a book can get you on TV, radio, in papers, magazines, and potentially speaking to groups that may lead to back-of-the-room sales on your books. The name of the game is getting your name and reputation out there.

If you come to the lunch there is no fee to attend and it is open to everyone BUT you must pay for your own buffet lunch and buffets offer something for everyone.
