“On Thursday, May 14th, at 6 pm, there will be a book signing at Montrose Center for Arts in Montrose, Colorado featuring local author Dawn Blanchard (using the pen name of ‘DL Blanchard’ and the owner of Meditation Spaces in downtown Montrose). Blanchard will talk about her newly released suspense novel, Blue Moon Bench and reveal how being a creative writing fiction is a process that is an adventure in itself – including how the author sometimes actually ‘lives’ the story as she writes. She will also share how a famous artist encouraged and showed her how to embrace that truth.” Learn more on the Montrose Center for Arts website.
