I had a great time at the Writers at Westclox Author Fair on Saturday. Aside from catching up with my fellow author friend, Jan Powelson, I met so many other authors and readers that afternoon. My hubby helped me carry my book box into the venue then found a yummy bakery/deli spot to bring me back a sandwich. I hadn't really explored Peru, IL before even though it's only an hour away from home, but I'll have to go back sometime. It's a cute town with a lot of places to explore.
There's one more live event in 2026 that I'm looking forward to the first week in December, an author fair at Galesburg Public Library on December 5th from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. By the way, Galesburg is also a fun town to look around. We've taken Amtrak out of Galesburg several times when we traveled to Flagstaff for our Grand Canyon trips ( a long ride, BTW ~ 28 hours!)
I'm also highlighting an event that I'll attend for the first time next August in Cedar Falls, Iowa. It's timely because tickets for the reader VIP events go on sale this Saturday. See the links below. I hope I get to meet some of my Iowa readers at this one!

Here's my annual list of signed paperbacks available to order in time for the holidays. They're $10 which is well below the price you'll pay for them online and they include shipping, too! I take PayPal and Venmo. All information is on the Google form.
