Show Me Writers Masterclass

11/7/2016

The Show Me Writers Masterclass was amazing! It was incredible to meet so many passionate authors and feel that buzz of creative energy. I also met my new author BFF, Mary Buckham, Urban Fantasy author and writing instructor extraordinaire :) She's one of the most generous, gracious, and downright hilarious souls you will ever meet! Now what to do with all this inspiration...hmm...onto the next story we go!

With the Unbound Book Festival coming up this Saturday, here's a fantastic article by the Columbia Tribune that demonstrates the scope and enthusiasm surrounding this festival (and by "festival", we mean that beautiful place where frenzied book lovers can gather together and obsess about books--yes, you know who you are): http://www.columbiatribune.com/arts_life/ovation/first-edition/article_12b90cb6-dfb4-5b9e-96f9-424e342eda8e.html

Putting the Fun in Fundraiser

12/13/2015

Yesterday's Unbound Book Festival fundraiser at Barnes and Noble was a wonderful success! We had so much fun meeting with people and raising support for the festival that will be taking place on April 23, 2016. The children enjoyed storytime with Princess Amadi and Prince Shaun, Carolyn Mulford and Carrie Koepke did a fantastic author reading and discussion, and Alex George and I also enjoyed a lively author reading and discussion. So many volunteers came out and helped make the event a huge success. A big thanks to Lisa Loporto from Barnes and Noble for her generous support. What a splendid way to spend a Saturday!

I had a great time visiting with friends and meeting other authors at the Local Authors Open House at the Daniel Boone Regional Library yesterday. It was also fun to meet so many excited readers of all ages. I'm very thankful for libraries and fellow book lovers who support them. Seeing such a great turnout at the event yesterday is an encouragement for the future.
