It was great seeing so many people at Barnes & Noble Jefferson Pointe this past weekend! Thank you to everyone who came out to make the event a success!
Thanks to everyone who stopped at the ACPL and shopped with the local authors, as part of Ft. Wayne downtown's 2019 Holly Trolley Shopping.
I enjoyed meeting these amazing authors at the 2019 Indiana State Fair. From left to right: Molly Daniels, K.B. Laugheed, Lisa Washington, Lisa Anne Duda and myself. A variety of genres were represented, so fair-goers could choose from romance, historical fiction, christian fiction, inspirational memoir, and mystery/thriller.
And when special friends from Indy's very own forensic's team show up to purchase one of my books, well, there's no coming down from that cloud. Thank you, Kelsey, for making my day!
I attended my first "Pop-Up" event at Pin-Up Curls along with Alyssa Walther, who was there to sell and showcase Park Lane Jewelry. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to purchase a copy of Shards of Trust. It was great fun meeting so many wonderful people!
I would especially like to thank Erin Raber for hosting this event at her award-winning salon!
The Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana Historical Society hosted the 2018 Holiday Author Fair, complete with Santa, carolers, and the Festival of Trees.
Special thanks to Becke Bolinger for doing such a wonderful job of organizing this event.
Another fun event that provided a chance to meet avid readers as well as other published authors.
I almost scored a free copy of Pigeon, but, alas, I only hit the rim of the can. A special thanks to Beth Meyer and her team at the Hamilton East Public Library for hosting this event. |

I appreciated the opportunity to meet other authors at the Indianapolis Author Fair at the Central Library in October, including fellow authors, Denise Hill and Christine Wissner. There's always something new to be learned from each other. Sometimes an author you meet at these events can become a mentor, such as K. B. Laugheed. She was there promoting her book, The Spirit Keeper. (Read more about this event in my blog.)
Looking forward to seeing many of you again at the Hamilton East Library in Fishers on November 3rd.
So humbling to see my book on the shelf next to Dean Koontz books at the Allen County Public Library (ACPL).
A big thanks to Lisa Roepe for the mention in her article, "The Publishing Industry" in the May 7, 2018 issue of the online Business Researcher with Sage Publications. Find it under the subhead, "Shakeup at Traditional Publishers," but read her entire article for some interesting developments in the publishing world.

Thank you to everyone who came out to Barnes & Noble in support of my book and Riley Children's Hospital! |
