A Moveable Feast of Authors was another sold-out event sponsored by Lori Westervelt and Quarter Moon Books and Gifts in Topsail Beach.

The March luncheon celebrated seven of the year’s highly acclaimed and popular authors:  Darnell Arnoult, Tommy Hays, Patti Callahan Henry, Ellen Elizabeth Hunter, Katrina Kittle, Catherine McCall, and Celia Rivenbark.  The event was held at the beautiful sound side location of Indigo Marsh.  Alison Lucien and her staff catered the event.
