The setting was far from cheesy at the mediabistro.com Publishing Party at Dip Cafe on November 5. From the dramatic digs to the selection of ooey gooey appetizers, the evening catered to every taste. Author and guest of honor Janice Eidus signed copies of her novel The War of the Rosens as she chatted up crowds of fans and fellow writers. Guest enjoyed complimentary fondue of both the sweet and savory kind as the cocktails and conversations flowed well into the night.

A special thanks to Dip Cafe for providing an amazing backdrop to the event.
