Something new for the new year! And yes, March can be considered the new year if you’re as behind on things as I am. I have a booth at a craft fair!
On Saturday and Sunday, March 29 and 30, I’ll be at the Willow Lake Estates craft fair in Elgin, IL from eight in the morning until three in the afternoon. Hopefully some folks show up to make it worth the very early drive out there!
In addition to selling paperbacks of Rooted, I’m partnering with a local 3d printing designer, WoodsCrafting3d. He’s bringing cute self-watering planters in fun spring colors, so I’m bringing a whole nursery of baby aloes to pair them with.
I’m getting in the “crafty” spirit to fit in with the majority of the vendors, but I won’t be the only author there, so I hope to see readers and plant lovers and crafters and shoppers of all types!
If you can’t make it out to Elgin, you can check out the planters in WoodsCrafting3d’s Etsy store, and Rooted is always $15.99 through my exclusive IngramSpark link. Thanks for shopping local!

Happy birthday, Rooted! Celebrate with a readalong on The Storygraph
Big news: my first novel, Rooted, is turning one year old this summer! The course wasn't always smooth sailing (just ask my husband how many times I ranted at him while pulling my hair out over file types and color profiles), but I am so proud to be a self-published...

Explore the music of Rooted: a listening guide for readers
Curating a playlist for a work of fiction is a trend that I’ve noticed from as early as 2015. Some authors will provide a list of the songs they listened to while they wrote, while others will piece together a sort of aural mood board. I’m using it as more of a history lesson.
Welcome, writers and readers and history nerds!
