AARP National Convention

Dear Readers and Friends,

We hope that everyone had a great summer. It always goes by quickly.

We wanted to post a blog to follow up on an unbelievable speaking event at the AARP National Convention. Our room in the Boston Convention Center held just over 200 people and it was completely full (they had to turn people away). The latest edition of our new book sold out in an hour at Barnes & Noble downstairs.

But the best part of the entire event were the people. AARP is a first-class organization and put on a great event. AARP's membership, who proudly made the trip to Boston, were so inspirational. They talked with us for hours after our event. They told us their stories and of their newfound desire to write books. People who were new to writing and those who had been waiting 20 years to finish off their projects.

It is for AARP's membership in particular that we wrote Get Between the Covers. We want to empower the everyday person...the one who has done a lot of living and now wants to spend time sharing their experiences, knowledge, and creativity and to truly "leave their legacy."

We look forward to seeing the completed books of so many at the speaking event.

Best,

Eric and Neil
