WOW... thanks to everyone at the Sandy Creek Library for making my first official speaking engagement such a fun and memorable event! Valerie, Elaine, Michelle, nice kids like Ali, Conner and Molly and EVERYONE who took time to talk to me, whether you bought a book or not! I loved the Halloween costumes and the great questions the audience had for me afterwards. Oh, and macaroni and cheese was to die for! A very well-organized event. Hope it becomes an annual event. Maybe next year it can be ... Continue reading...

October is here! My favorite month of the year. :^) I welcomed in the new month with "Barktoberfest" on 10/1, a fundraiser for the Jefferson County SPCA. I have a rare weekend off this Saturday and Sunday (unless I'm called to do a remote for the radio station). Perhaps my husband and I will take a drive to the Adirondacks to see the fall foliage. The following weekend (10/15), I'll be paying my annual visit to the Burrville Cider Mill. I'll be joined by fellow North Country authors, Marcus M... Continue reading...

I had a very enjoyable time at the Lowville Free Library this past
Saturday. It was fun hanging out with author friends like Marcus Mastin
and Joseph Sweet and meeting new writers, like Dave Andalora. I also had
fun chatting with Dawn from the library. I didn't realize who she was
when I talked with her on the phone to book my appearance, but it
turns out we have met before, via my job at the radio station. We have a
friend in common. You know what they say about "six degrees of
separa... Continue reading...

I had a great day in Clayton, NY yesterday at the 1,000 Islands museum. I was invited to participate in a book signing by April Ingerson, who's just a sweet and delightful lady! Besides myself, other authors in attendance were Louise Ford, Audrey Lashomb, Matt Turcotte and Skip Couch. (Rex Ennis unfortunately had to pull out of the event due to the death of a cousin.) People traffic was a little slow, but all of us managed to sell some books that day. I sold four copies of "Finding My Father"... Continue reading...

I am very excited to have TWO author appearances this week... First on Wednesday 8/10 at the Clayton Library and then the Summer Arts Festival, downtown Watertown on Saturday 8/13. Hope to see lots of old and new readers there!
I am having so much fun revisiting Patrick and Mariah as I begin writing the follow-up to "Tricked." Both the characters and myself, as an author, have grown so much since the first installment! I am pondering just the right title for it. "Cell" is already taken.. dang... Continue reading...

As always, it was great to get out to Old Forge for their annual Book Fair. There were about 15 other authors there, including Marcus J. Mastin and Nancy Lee Canfield. We were in a new location, under a big tent downtown, on the front lawn of a motel there. This worked out well for us. We got a lot of foot traffic, which was surprising for a Wednesday! It was a nice weather day, too, until a half hour before the event was scheduled to end. Then it started thundering and downpouring! Ah, well.... Continue reading...

Saturday, July 23 was a fantastic day for me! I was part of the "Art in the Park" event at Rhodes Greenhouses in Henderson Harbor, NY. There were three other authors there (in addition to lots of crafters, artisans and live musicians. I especially was grateful to make a new author friend in Kate Winter, who writes about local history. She lives part-time in Albany and part-time in Hawaii, which was a blessing for Pete and I. Pete (my hubby) is working on his first children's book, whose main ... Continue reading...

July is a very busy month for me, between book signing events and my
regular day job. As much as I love documenting all of this activity via
videos on my Facebook page, "Can This Author Make It In One Year?", I
have been have terrible technical issues with my computer/ Flip cam/
Windows Movie Maker. So until I get all those glitches fixed, I will document my comings and goings
via this blog. I should be trying harder to drive traffic to my website anyway... duh!
A couple Saturdays ago, I ... Continue reading...
