Welcome to Autumn- Latest Lotsa News

Happy Autumn, folks. It's lovely weather, and a wicked busy time for a productive author.

Here's a shot from the Common Ground Fair, a lovely yearly event in Maine. Great day for it, and loads of fun.

First up, my latest author help book is now out on audio in Audible (follows the print and ebook).

And then the print version of my fantasy collection is now out-

And the print version of my collection of crime/mystery stories is now out! 

I gave a mini-interview at Killer Nashville. I come in at about 6:18

A longer interview with KN attendee Dr. Katherine Hutchinson Hayes on Murder, Mystery & Mayhem Laced with Morality. 

Had a great Zoom chat with Clay Stafford, founder of the Killer Nashville Conference, for the Tewksbury Writer's Night Out.

And on Oct 22nd, I'll be on the Crime Wave podcast with author Bonnar Spring. 

October brings a host of live events:

A Sisters in Crime panel on We're Not Making This Up for the Sturbridge, MA Library, Oct 10th. (I'm a replacement, so not named on the schedule yet.)

For Spooktober, I'll be signing and selling books at the Haunted Trail in Townsend, MA on the 12th. 

I'll be at a local author showcase at Whitelam Book in Reading, MA.
Wednesday, October 16 at 7:00 PM.

Also at the Great New England Craft Fair event at the Milford Dome, Sat Sun the 19th-20th. 

And manning a Sisters in Crime table at the New England Library Association Conference in Portland, Maine on the 21st, from 12-4.

The following Saturday, the 26th, I'll be at the Mystery Writers of America booth at the Boston Book Festival from 12-2.

And then maybe a little vacation...

Now have books in the Barnes and Noble bookstores in Dedham and Hingham, MA. Even got endcap placement in Hingham! The entire bottom row!

Just added another bookstore to stock my titles! Looking forward to a signing at the Bookery, 844 Elm St, Manchester, NH

 

Double Show Weekend

What a busy time! Had two shows this weekend, in two different states.

First was in Springfield, MA, for the Association of Rural and Small Libraries, a conference with librarians from all over the country. 

Here's Matt Cost, a fellow mystery writer from Maine. They first stuck us upstairs with few people around, before moving us down to the main floor, where the people were! 

A better location below. 

We chatted with librarians from Michigan and New York state, and met the Poetess Laureate of Maine, Julia Bouwsma.

And early next morning, I was up for Duck Day in Auburn, NH.

Celebrities! Local reigning Queens

And another mascot...

R. David DePuy, who was running for office

Here's Library honcho Dan Szczesny, author in his own right, who sets us up in Authors Alley for the day to vend to passersby. 

He's amazed at my prolific display of books I've written... 

Authors from all over

A new display

Here's Jeff Deck, who runs the Portsmouth Writer's Night Out. 

He was also a contributor to my marketing book

                  87 Ways to Sell More Books.
