In 2008, The Reading Divas celebrated their 10th anniversary with the first Black Authors & Readers Rock Weekend with author Mary Monroe as the first speaker. The weekend will kick off with a Men in Literature reception and an Author Expo on Saturday morning. Participating author, Austin S. Camacho says, “ Before the Readers Rock Weekend these were all strangers. Now I call half a dozen of them my friends. That alone made it worth being there!”
