Timothy spent the last couple days of his time off preparing a new menu of chef-made treats for WriteOn Joliet's anthology release party, this Thursday, Dec. 8.
And you are invited to the party.
The anthology release party will be held from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at the Joliet Public Library, Black Road branch, 3395 Black Road in Joliet.
Admission to the anthology release party is free.
The celebration includes complimentary appetizers and desserts, an informal meet and greet with local authors who are members of the group, and the opportunity to purchase copies of the anthology as well as as individual works by individual authors.
The Book and Bean Cafe, which is located inside the library, will have a variety of heartier food as well as coffee, tea, and other beverages, available for purchase.
Janet Staley, owner of The Book Market in Crest Hill, will handle checkout. Everyone who buys a book, either the anthology or a book from the other tables, will receive a Book Market bookmark that features a ten percent discount on books at Staley's store through January 31, 2023.
The party is for all ages. So if your children and grandchildren have yet to visit Santa this year, bring them out.
Photos with Santa are free. Santa, known as Ed Calkins, Steward of Tara the rest of the year, will also be signing and selling his own BryonySeries books.
And he will most likely sign any BryonySeries books in which he also appears as a character.
Santa will also give away away free candy canes as long as he has some left to give.
Bertrand will have limited copies of his books to sell. He just fulfilled a large order for Santa and Amazon can't ship more books in time.
Now for a "taste" of the complimentary food in its deconstructed format.
...honey vanilla rum-flavored (no alcohol) frosted doughnuts...
...vanilla cake (a component of the next dessert)...
...apple cheesecake shooters with apple gelee, vanilla cake, caramelized apple...
...two edible cookie doughs: funfetti...
...and chocolate chip...
...pumpkin creme brulee...
...and s’mores shooters.
We will also serve a meat and cheese platter with crackers (homemade cheese log) and miniature water bottles, which is, again, all complimentary.
Monday: I'll provide a sneak peek of a special "thank you" gift BryonySeries is offering for select purchase of books in the BryonySeries on Thursday night. I'm not being mysterious; it's actually being prepared today.
Last year, we offered this gift. This year, we have something equally terrific.
Hope to see you Thursday night at the Joliet Public Library!
