MEETING GREG COX

Opportunities to meet authors, chat with them and ask questions in relaxed and casual surroundings don’t occur often.  So, it was a real treat to be introduced to three separate writers on the same day, at the same location. (For those who missed it, that was on November 7 at CBH!)
