News: Author of Vivaldi's Virgins hosting Webinar on December 16th

Dec 12, 2008 10:23

A few minutes ago I received the following invitation from Barbara Quick, author of Vivaldi's Virgins:

I'm forwarding this invitation on behalf of Owen Linderholm, impresario of the webinar described below. I've worked really hard on my presentation--and I'm excited about trying out this new technology that allows readers and writers to interact, in real time, across long distances. I think the event is going to be fun and interesting for everyone involved. Even if you can't attend, I'd be grateful if you'd pass this on to any of your email contacts who love historical novels, Baroque music, and/or all things Italian!

Abbracci,
Barbara

I've never used Webinar for non-work functions, so I'm quite curious to see how this will work out.  Historical fiction fans, this is a unique opportunity to interact with these authors, and if this is successful I expect we'll see many more such opportunities in the future.  Check it out!
