Charleston, SC, December 17, 2012 --(PR.com)-- They jokingly refer to themselves as the DWAG Queens, D.W.A.G. being the an acronym for Drink Wine and Giggle, a portion of the title of an intrepid trio of ex-execs’ debut book. Gal pals Lynne Everatt, Julie Smethurst and Deb Mangolt (two Canadians and one American) are best friends who wrote a book together documenting a year long journey of 101 activities involving friends, fun, and inspiration – and wine of course. Going back two decades (although they try to ignore the exact number of years), these three women met at a multinational company in Canada where they toiled together for many years in finance and marketing. The book, Drink Wine and Giggle (101 ways girlfriends can connect, have fun and be inspired) has taken off in a series of special, advanced debut signing events both in Canada and stateside. While two of the trio signed books at Canada-based events this month, Deb, was busy with her signatures at Mount Pleasant Barnes & Noble, Papyrus at Charleston Place, the Annual Lowcountry Women Authors Book Signing hosted by The Center for Women and Everyday Gourmet in Mt. Pleasant, SC, where she and the book were a triumph.
