It’s official! ❤️🎉
Come out for our first ever story time and book signing event at Barnes & Noble!!!! 🎉📚🎉
On June 20th, my son, Cory Lee and I will be reading our newest children’s book, “Let’s Soar with Cor Cor”, and doing a book signing afterwards at the Barnes & Noble Pinnacle located at Turkey Creek in KNOXVILLE, TN!! It’ll start at 1pm on June 20th and if you live in the area, we’d absolutely LOVE to see you there! 😁
Knoxville is only minutes from the Great Smoky Mountains so make a weekend out of it while you’re there! We’d love to see you.
Pictured below is Cory feverishly signing our first book, “Let’s Explore with Cor Cor” several years ago as the orders were coming in.
It’s all so exciting and we appreciate everyone who has ordered on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
