SORMAG’s Writer’s Cafe
With so many cancellations due to Covid-19, writers and publicists have had to get creative. SORMAG’s Writer’s Cafe featured me on a recent podcast. We talked about getting started in writing, how long it may take to be successful (just what is success, anyway?) and what advice I might have for budding writers.
Poplar Bluff Municipal Library
After a year off, the Poplar Bluff Municipal Library held their annual Author Fair on March 5, 2022. Thirty-four authors attended, including me. It was fun to get out and about and talk with library patrons and staff, as well as meet the other authors. The Poplar Bluff Library has both Sweeter Than Life and Until Proven Innocent in its collection, and any Missouri library that is a part of the Evergreen system can order it.
I had a table at two church bazaars in November and December 2019, where I sold my books in themed gift baskets–e.g., Until Proven Innocent‘s basket contained items like gloves, notebooks, pens, and grandparent-themed gifts. Don’t Fear, My Darling‘s baskets had popcorn, Dr. Pepper, lavender soap and hair accessories. Both were a hit. Thank you to everyone who bought a basket or a book!
