Books for kids, teens, & those who are young at heart
Taking an afternoon off from the craziness of my NaNoWriMo goals to meet up with fellow authors and readers at the Groton Public Library’s Annual Authors’ Festival. If you’re local, stop on by and grab a signed book by one of the over 40 authors who will be there. Get a head start on your holiday shopping with gift wrapping available, enjoy the refreshments, and try your luck at one of the raffle prizes. It all starts at noon tomorrow (Saturday, November 5)!
I’m very excited to let you all know that I’ll be attending the Annual Authors’ Festival at the Groton Public Library on Saturday, November 5, 2016. The event begins at noon with author talks, refreshments, door prizes, and a book sale/signing. There will be over 40 authors in attendance, so something for every reader. I’ll be there with bookmarks and copies of ELIXIR BOUND. I might even do some holiday shopping while I’m there…signed books make for great gifts (wink, wink!).
This is on the heels of my most recent author event at the Stratford Library for the national Indie Author Day. There were some great author talks, including fellow New England SCBWI member Stacy Barnett Mozer with her MG contemporary THE SWEET SPOT and Jared Topalian (who attended my first ever author talk–one of the few people there who wasn’t a friend or related to me!) with his fantasy ELIAS BROOK. Here’s the whole crew!
First order of business is I have a new event to announce. Barnes & Noble is hosting a nationwide Teen Book Festival the weekend of June 10-12, and I’ll be participating at the B&N in North Haven, CT on Sunday, June 12. Once I have all the details, I’ll post them here on the blog and on the homepage. But I wanted to start getting the word out now for any local people who might be interested.
In other news, I’ve been working hard to meet a couple of freelance deadlines and the hubby is away all this week, so you’re all getting a picture post. It’s quick and easy, and you all love pics of the boys, right? (You’re so not allowed to say no to that question!) 😉
Today a great event will be taking place at the Milford, CT Public Library at 5:00 p.m. for Local Authors Day as Milford celebrates its 375th anniversary. I was going to be there selling signed copies of Elixir Bound, chatting about books and stuff, and giving out bookmarks, but baby boy #2 arrived late Monday night. We are both doing well, but I will not be attending the event. Don’t worry, I’ll post more about this once I wrap my head around having a new baby around.
In the meantime catch an interview of me at A Thousand Words A Million Books blog, along with a review of Elixir Bound and a giveaway. If you’re interested, some other guest posts and interviews I’ve done lately include a post on the seeds of inspiration for one of works in progress BLACK BUTTERFLY over at J.Q. Rose’s blog, one about my favorite writing spaces on the MuseItUp Tween and YA blog, an author interview on The Masquerade Crew, and a post about Sary in the real world on Meradeth Houston’s blog.
What have you all been up to lately? Any thoughts on what you’d like me to write about on the blog this summer? I’ll have an office update and probably another couple of posts in the Females in YA series, but I’m open to suggestions. 🙂
