Readers, please enjoy this guest post by Sally Cragin, author of The Astrological Elements. [caption id="attachment_2614" align="alignright" width="147" caption="Image by Zoe Timms Photography"][/caption] One of the really-cool aspects of having a book is bringing it directly to the people in the hopes they will buy your book. Sort of like an infomercial, but live. As a typically indecisive Libra, I decided the best way to go with "my product" is to go full-speed-ahead and find something in (*plug#1!!) The Astrological Elements that will appeal to as many people in the audience as possible! Yes, totally shameless. But look at it this way. Isn't it nicer to be served a piece of cake

Corrine Kenner and Katrina Wynne both suggested that I write about MATS. First of all, you can get all the juicy details here. Also, there are lots of other gatherings that I should at least mention, because not everyone wants to come visit Minnesota, although I don’t know why (because it is quite fabulous here AND you’d be here for the State Fair, which don’t tell anyone, but I love almost more than anything). Bay Area Tarot Symposium Readers Studio (this link is to the 2010 conference; the info for 2011 will be up soon!) Tarot Association of the British Isles (at which yours truly will be teaching two workshops) Tarot Professionals Conference (Tarosophy) I am sure
