ARRA book-signing event

The first ever Australian group book-signing of romance authors was held in conjunction with the inaugural Australian Romance Readers Convention, in Melbourne in February 2009. There were 25 authors signing at that event. More than 250 readers attended.
 
In August 2010, in conjunction with the annual Romance Writers of Australia national conference, we are doing it again. The book-signing will be held in the Terrace View Rooms, at the Crowne Plaza Coogee Beach, Sydney on Friday 13 August from 4.30 pm to 6.00 pm. And this time it will be even bigger — we have 45 authors signed up to attend:
