(The Garden of) Eden Mills

I spent last weekend happily enjoying all the Eden Mills Writers’ Festival had to offer, which was a lot. The Festival and town (village?) was as good as past attendees and readers told me it was. Actually: better. Here are some photos from the events, including some from the “Hot, Young, and Local” reading at the Cottage where I read with Carrie Snyder and Tanis Rideout. Props to the host of our event who described readers in terms of hot peppers. Me? I was “crisp and merciless.”
