Altrusa of Evansville's 2013 Author Event

There was food...  Yummy food...  Fattening food...  The kind of food
October welcomes... The kind you can't get enough of...
 It wasn't a trick.  It was a treat.

Award Winning author Margaret McMullan spoke to us about her books and shared what her inspiration for writing her first novel "In My Mother's House" was.  She found out as an adult when her mother was under the influence of some pain medication in the hospital that her mother was a spy.  Imagine her shock!  Well-- it inspired a book and I for one am going to read it.

Angie Karcher talks about her book "Where the River Grins:

 a history of Evansville, Indiana."  It is a book great for children 

as well as adults.  I bought one because I live in Evansville and 

I want to know more about it.
