PAST EVENTS
Saturday, April 25th, 9am-5pm – Goldner Walsh Spring Makers Market
The event had tons of traffic, and I believe there were about 60 vendors of all sorts – crafts, jewelry, art, and of course books. I had a fun time meeting readers and signing their books, including my new book, A Grieving Heart. The highlight of my day was when my grandson popped by to promote our book, I Didn’t See That Coming: One Grandmother, Two Kids, and a Whole Lotta Laughing.
The day flew by quickly, and I hope they hold the event again next year.
Saturday, April 11th, 12-5pm – Books in the Barn in Washtenaw
Books in the Barn was hosted by Katharine M Sweet of Sweet Tales With Spice and held at the Washtenaw County Fairgrounds. It was a unique venue and very well organized with lots of volunteers assisting the authors.
Saturday, Mar 28th, 10 am to 4 pm – Sip, Shop, and Read in Brighton
Creative By Sanchez hosted a great event! Their first ever Adult Bookfair was well organized and well attended, too. I met lots of interesting people, and chatted with other authors. Hope they do this again soon!

Saturday, November 29, 10-3 – Rochester Hills Public Library
Twenty Michigan authors were on hand to discuss their books, share their love of writing, and to sign copies of their latest books. The event included a mix of traditionally published and indie published authors from a variety of genres, including children’s fiction, adult fiction, and nonfiction titles. The popular local literary event took place in the library’s Multipurpose Room from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. I made my first sale of the day five minutes into the event and it was uphill from there. See more photos.
