Kelly Harms Fiction Ladies’ Night Out with Kelly Harms  Author of The Overdue Life of Amy Byler.

Self-care is the new buzzword and factors largely in the latest release, The Overdue Life of Amy Byler, from bestselling Madison author Kelly Harms. But in researching this and her next release, she learned that truly restorative self-care is a matter of just a few key steps, applied with a touch of neuroscience! Hint: pampering yourself is not expensive, it doesn’t take that long, and anyone can do it–and yep, a good book is a key ingredient! Join Kelly for a night of laughs, books, and great ideas for making yourself a priority in these busy times.
