We’re chatting today about the parallels between our writing and our real lives.  They say write what you know and you’ll be fine. There’s a lot of truth to that. When we write what we know, we speak from experience and the feeling that needs to be associated with our stories comes through. Not so…

This week we’re sharing “How to do ____”.  I do that on a regular basis mostly so today I thought I’d do something a bit different.     As you know we bike and that means we’re always packing large amounts of clothing and toiletries in small spaces.  So, to revisit some of my past blogs,…

Some of you may already know this, but I found these awesome Harley Davidson space bags. So, we had to stop at the Harley dealership this week.  Usually, we just want to stop, but The Biker had to order a part and we were on our way somewhere else, so we stopped.  As he spoke…

As writers, we’re sedentary often.  I mean hours and hours a day.  That can be detrimental to your health and your waistline.  So this week we thought we share some of our tips on what we do to stay healthy. Last year I bought a treadmill with a desk on it.  I used it all…

Last week I chatted about the Veteran’s Ride and how its my favorite.  My next favorite ride is the Old School Ride, which was on Saturday, July 29th this year.  These two rides are quite similar in many ways, in others not so much. Shannon Flynn (pictured here in the black and red shirt, addressing…

On July 8th of this year, we attended the Veteran’s Ride sponsored by the Pearly Gates Bar here in Green Bay.  Now if you’ve read my Rolling Thunder series, you’ll see some similarities, and that’s because I LOVE this ride.  It’s my favorite ride of the year for a few reasons.  First, it’s very well…

We’re taking you on a walk through the day in the life of each of us today, in my case, a paralegal/author.  So, I’ve worked in a law office for the past 12 years. So, the law; it’s interesting on most days. The office I work in requires varied practices. On any given day I…

Get Your Motors Running Reader Author Event @ The Automobile Gallery
Tickets
Apr 24 all-day

My name is Patti Fiala. I write contemporary romance and romantic suspense as PJ Fiala, and I’m planning an author/reader event for April 24, 2021. This event will be different for a couple of reasons.
 
The Venue is the Automobile Gallery in Green Bay, Wisconsin. If you’ve never heard of the Automobile Gallery, I invite you to take a look. https://theautomobilegallery.org/
 
The other way in which this is a different event is that there will only be 15 authors (16 including me) The venue is not huge, but can hold a few hundred people. Readers will select the author they want to have lunch with at time of sign up.
 
The book signing event will be open to the public.
 
BUT, we’re also encouraging readers and authors to bring their spouses. The Automobile Gallery is an interesting place. If spouses don’t want to eat with an author, they will have the opportunity to eat inside the Gallery at a space set up just for this purpose. There is a boardroom upstairs in the Gallery in which either a sporting game will be playing on the large screen, or if nothing available, an old car movie will be on. There will be volunteers around the Gallery, talking about the cars and some of the interesting facts known about each car.
 
Our event photographer, ERic McKinney of 6:12 Photography will be on hand taking pictures of the readers and spouses (if around) with their favorite cars. Usually there are only 4 cars in the gallery open to allow visitors to sit inside and have their picture taken. The gallery has agreed to open up more cars to allow our readers, authors and spouses to sit inside and enjoy many of the classic cars on display, up close and personal.
 
Don’t miss this exciting event, it’s sure to be fun for everyone.
