Loads of
                 Fun! Fun! Fun!

Lori will kick the day off at 9 am EST with a workshop just for writers. Join Lori for her 2 hour plotting clinic that will help you whip any manuscript or story idea into shape.

Grab some lunch and then come back for an online "reading" of some of Lori's work, available through exclusive audio files in a special section of Lori's website set up just for WINTER BLAST attendees. Every person who attends the reading anytime throughout the day, will be eligible to request a free gift from Lori just for her fans. Simply provide us with your name and address via our special form on that page.

Spice up your Saturday night by joining Lori in her chat room at 9 PM EST. Lori will start the evening off with a quick chat about literacy and what we can all do to make a difference and then we'll kick off our shoes, munch on some goodies and just get to know one another better. Get ready to party, party, party and just have a great time. Meet other readers and writers and discuss your favorite books.

Everyone who attends the chat will be registered to win prizes in our drawing (we'll hold the drawing on Sunday, March 9th). We have some fabulous prizes, many of which were donated, including:

$25.00 gift certificate to Amazon.com
A weekend getaway package to San Diego, CA
FREE Website package from www.for99.com
FREE membership in Circle City Writers
Autographed set of Lori's books
Gift baskets (2)
and more we are in the process of confirming.

We've also made arrangements with a local bookstore and will be able to offer autographed copies of Lori's latest novel Housebreaking A Husband to anyone who wants one. The hardback book sells for 26.95 at Amazon.com We'll sell it to you for the same price (the bookstore will only give us 10% off) but we'll cover your postage and personalize the autograph. If you've been meaning to grab your copy, this is your chance to get an autographed one.

We are asking that you pre-register for Lori's Winter Blast Party so we can make sure we have a large enough chat room to accommodate all our guests. Just send an email to Ronda Weems at CWABookClub@aol.com with the words "Attending Winter Blast" in the subject line or body.

If you own a business and would like to donate prizes, a gift certificate or gift basket, we'd be thrilled to receive them. We plan to send out press releases and advertise the event and will list the sponsors on our main page as well.
