Patricia Fry will speak in New York
I’m heading out tomorrow to White Plains, NY to speak at the Cat Writers Association Conference and sign books (including my book of cat stories) at the Westchester Cat Show. That will be fun. I’m accustomed to working surrounded by cats. I’ll feel right at home.
I plan to update you about the event through my blog as often as I can.
