It was great to be a part of this enjoyable seasonal event to usher in another Appalachian Autumm in South Central PA. Lots of terrific venders filled out the spaces indoor and out, and the kettles filled the cool sunshine air with scents of soups and fresh-made potato chips. Hope if you couldn’t make it out this year, you find us next Fall!

Thanks to all who came out to the Path Valley region of Pennsylvania to enjoy this 50th annual community event filled with venders, food, and fun for the entire family. It was lovely sharing a table with fellow children’s author, Hannah Tamanini, whose book can be found here as well as in person at Juniata River Commons in Mifflintown, PA, who also carry copies of my books!

Once again, the Manuscript 2 Marketplace Writers Conference was excellent, with inspiring speakers and useful workshops, all in the delightful setting of Shepherd University in Shepherdstown, WV. Thanks to the organizers, to Four Seasons Books, and a big shout out to all who attended!

Thanks to the Lititz Public Library once again for hosting their (third) annual local author’s event. It was fun to see some familiar faces from last year, as well as meet many new fellow authors and readers! One highlight this year was Lancaster Newspapers coming out to do a feature article on me and my sisters [writer K.M. King (The Bomber Jacket) and playwright, D.W. Gregory (Radium Girls)], both of whom were also attending the event. The article can be found here.

What a wonderful author meet-‘n-greet event hosted by the excellent staff at the beautiful Martin Library in downtown York, PA. There were a wide range of works available from local authors (many of which I couldn’t help but buy!) and a lovely crowd of enthusiastic attendees. Live readings of their works by some of the authors were featured throughout the day. The gorgeous setting of the historic Martin Library building as well as delicious refreshments courtesy of the staff made the visit to York even more special. A highly recommended bi-annual event! Thanks for having invited me!

Huge shoutout to everyone who chilled at Lititz Pridefest 2024 in the Lititz Springs Park. Lititz Chooses Love knows how to put on a great event, so thanks so much to them for all their hard work! I met tons of awesome peeps, signed some books, and had a drawing for some cool prizes (congrats winners!). Thanks especially to my bro, Bill Whiskeyman, for showing up and hanging out with me, and thanks to my great event “neighbors,” Jade Chen of theraptory.com and Jacob of theroyalratshop.com

Thanks to all who stopped by this past Saturday at the Authors and Automobiles event hosted by the Columbia Public Library during the Thunder on the River Car Show. I met awesome fellow authors Patrick M. Reynolds, Jacqueline Christine, Diana Thomas, and Clara Howell. Be sure to check out their books!

Also, thanks to Julie Ham for being my author’s assistant for the day.

Mount Joy resident Deb Hefflefinger won the giveaway for a Shay the Brave mug.

Thanks to all who came to Kidzfest hosted by Old Town Winchester! The kids were terrific, and everyone did a bang-up job identifying the six simple machines I displayed. Shay would be so proud of you! Also, thanks to D.W. Gregory, my author’s assistant. Winners of the STEM activity books giveaway were Sally Schroeder of Lebanon, PA & Marla Schroeder of Lynchburg, VA.

If you’re in the Winchester area and missed me, stop at Winchester Book Gallery on Loudoun St. They still have a few a copies of Shay The Brave on hand.

Thanks to all who came by for my book launch for Shay the Brave, and thank you, Winchester Book Gallery, for hosting me! It was a dual launch; I was there with fellow author, Magdalene Dietschka who was signing copies of her debut paranormal romance, The Physician.

It was not only National Independent Bookstore Day, it was the Apple Blossom Festival in Old Town Winchester: music, market stands, and the magic of a Virginia Spring weekend!

Great event, well attended! Thanks to all who came, and thanks so much to Diane Guscott for organizing! Had the pleasure of meeting other awesome authors (shout out to Kayla Hicks and Ann Van Hine) and hope to attend again in 2024 when I’ll actually be able to have copies of Shay The Brave on hand.
