"Alice I Have Been" Book Signing at Anderson's Bookshop

Few works of literature are as universally beloved as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Now, in this spellbinding historical novel, ALICE I HAVE BEEN, we meet the young girl whose bright spirit sent her on an unforgettable trip down the rabbit hole�and the grown woman whose story is no less enthralling.

ALICE I HAVE BEEN by Melanie Benjamin will be published by Random House on January 12th, 2010.

"Benjamin draws on one of the most enduring relationships in children's literature... spinning out the heartbreaking story of Alice from Alice in Wonderland...Focusing on three eras in Alice's life, Benjamin offers a finely wrought portrait of Alice that seamlessly blends facts with fiction. This is book club gold." �Publishers Weekly starred review, "Pick of the Week"

Attention local professionals looking to grow their business (Lisle)

2009-12-22T11:47:43-06:00

I've started a LEADS group in the Downers Grove/Lisle/Naperville area. If you're unfamiliar how Leads groups work, basically it's a group of professionals that meet once a week, and exchange leads within the group. Each person will be an exclusive member to the group, so there won't be two�people�doing the same thing (only one Realtor, Electrician, etc...).
This group unlike a lot of others out there is FREE. Our weekly meetings will be held at a local restaurant on Monday mornings 7:30am, so each member will pay their own way for food/drinks.
�
Since the group is free, I'm expecting it to fill rather quickly. That being said, we want quality members that are looking to help each other. It's not mandatory that each member bring a lead every week, but the goal is to keep the leads flowing throughout the group.
�
If you're a professional in the area looking to network and grow your business, email me! Also, please make sure that Monday mornings from 7:30-8:30 will work for you as well.
