I had a great time at Books and Bourbon II this past Saturday in Lexington, at the Kroger Wine and Spirits store off Boston Road. The staff were great hosts, and took very good care of myself and Holly. The three hour event just flew by, and from what I could tell everyone had a lot of fun. This is another event where it was easy to talk and visit with those who attended. I got to meet some new readers who took home some of my books to try for the first time. I also had many other readers, some of whom have beenRead More →

I had a great time this past weekend at my first 2019 event in Vevay, IN at the Community Art Center of Switzerland County! I love going to this venue as it is first-class and has a great atmosphere for visiting with readers. It is relaxed and laid-back, and very conducive to having great conversations, which is what I like about these kinds of events the most. I can really visit with readers individually and spend time with them. Had the amazing Robb Hoff stop by too (he’s 2nd from the right). He’s a supremely talented author and is very supportive of authors and eventsRead More →
