Come chat with me on August 24 at the Elmhurst Public Library’s Local Author Fair! The list of names is long and seems to run the gamut from youth through adult in tons of genres.
It’ll be my first ever public event, and I’m excited and nervous! I’m looking forward to connecting with other local authors and checking out how they do it so I can improve my table for the next one–which is already on the calendar!
Of course, I’ll have paperback copies of Rooted! With only one book to talk about and a bookmark to give away, I’m coming up with props to fill the rest of the table. Luckily I am a huge rennaissance faire nerd and I never throw anything away, so I’m sure I’ll come up with something.
If you’re in the Elmhurst area, I hope you’ll stop by and say hi!

When books with helpless waifs and overbearing hunks stop hitting like they used to, it’s time to find a romantic lead with a little grit.
