Appearances

I do several book signings, talks, workshops, guest blogs, and more throughout the year. Posted below is what I have coming up, along with photos from previous events:

April

n April 16-20: I'll be appearing at the annual Romantic Times Booklovers Convention in Pittsburgh.

At 10:30 a.m. April 17, I'll be giving an hour-long workshop on how authors can gain media coverage for their books and put their best foot forward when interacting with journalists. More information on the workshop can be found by clicking the link on the right side of this page. If you're a little shy at the thought of talking to a reporter, don't worry. You can also use the information to craft press releases and other features for your Web site and newsletters.

On April 19, I'll be attending the big book fair from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Hope to see you there!

n Sept. 19-21: I'll be attending RAW, or the Reader Appreciation Weekend, hosted by paranormal romance author Lora Leigh in Huntington, W. Va. The event will feature book signings and a masquerade ball, among other activities. A variety of other romance authors, including J.R. Ward and Nalini Singh, are scheduled to be there. It should be a lot of fun.

October

n Oct. 17-19: I'll be one of several authors appearing at the annual Women's Expo in Kingsport, Tenn. If things remain the same as last year, a meet-the-authors dinner will be held on Oct. 17, and authors will sign books on Oct. 18-19. The expo is geared toward women, and there's a lot of stuff to see and do. You can get a massage, stock up on Christmas presents, and get tons of free goodies. More details to come.
