The 17th Annual Book & Author Dinner is to be held on Friday, April 17, 2015 at The Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center. The Book and Author Dinner is a fund raising event to benefit the following community service projects: Boys and Girls Clubs of Southwest Virginia, Children’s Trust (Children’s Advocacy), Dr. Robert L.A. Keeley Healing Arts Program (Carilion Clinic Foundation), Unbridled Change (Therapuetic Horseback riding) and the RAMA Foundation Scholarship Fund.
The event includes a VIP Cocktail Party for corporate sponsors, patrons, and authors, a seated dinner followed by authors' comments, and an autographing reception after dinner. Book sales preceding and following dinner are provided by SuzyQ.
We are thrilled to announce that Garth Stein, NYT bestselling author of THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN and A SUDDEN LIGHT, Megan Abbott, bestselling author of THE FEVER, and Lou Berney, author of THE LONG AND FARAWAY GONE. Roanoke's own Beth Macy, NYT bestselling author of FACTORY MAN, will be our emcee.

We look forward to a very entertaining evening as we raise funds for our non-profit organizations and scholarship fund. The success of the Book & Author Dinner depends in large measure on the generous support of the corporate community.
