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!

This author fair in Elgin was so great last year, I can’t wait to do it again! I had a blast sharing a table and wandering the room seeing how everyone else was displaying their amazing books.

So excited to combine two (three?) of my favorite things at my first Books & Brews event! Drop in for a beer or two, pick up a book or three, and maybe you’ll even spot a ghost.
August 23, 2025: Elmhurst Library Author Fair
I’ll be back in Elmhurst for the second time, hoping to catch up with the author friends I made last year and connect with some new readers!
Rehearsing for perfectionist boot camp
August is when I will remind myself that I love this book I’m writing and I want it to exist. The only way I can do that, though, is to tell perfectionism to take a hike.
The softest boot camp: My 31-day plan to write (and drink water)
This month’s writing challenge is more complex than many others I’ve attempted. By the end of the month, I hope to have established a routine that improves my health as well as my creative process. And I’ll have a finished draft.
Is “going wide” with only one book worth it?
After a full year on Kindle Unlimited, I've decided to "go wide" and distribute Rooted to more booksellers than just Amazon. It's a big change and a little bit of a risk, but there are many reasons why this is the right choice to make as Rooted celebrates its first...
