Welcome to the Authors After Dark 2013 Reading Challenge and Sign up Page.
The goal of this challenge is to let readers, whether you are going to AAD 2013 in Savannah or not, get better acquainted with some of the authors who will be attending this event.
Sometimes I go to conferences that feature authors who I am unfamiliar with. Then, when I read their books later I want to kick myself for not reading their work sooner, so I could have talked to them about their stories, gotten a book signed or just gushed properly.
Stella Price, the organizer of Authors After Dark was kind enough to give me the green light to host the challenge again this year and Robin from RLD Design, the AAD website designer provided the button. Thank you Stella and Robin!
