Readings, Author Q & A, Book Signings!

The last few months have been filled with excitement for local author events! On April 8, I was honored to participate in a Faculty Writers Panel at Fenwick High School. The readings, followed by an enthusiastic Q & A, were inspiring! I was truly blessed to speak with my colleagues Laura Gallinari and J. Shep.
​
Next, on June 5, authors from publishing company Christopher Whisperings were featured at the historical Cheney Mansion in Oak Park. While presenting in the exquisite Blue Solarium room, WGN's Ana Belaval and the "Around Town" crew stopped in, and the authors were a part of the show! What a fun experience!

The CW trio were then featured at The Pile Bookstore in Berwyn on August 19. This community shop has become a hub of activity, showcasing local writers and book lovers alike. Visit soon!
​

The most recent event took place on September 6 at the Printers Row Lit Fest. Before getting to the Chicago Writers Association tent, I was able to make a quick trip around the book-lined streets and found the new Soon to be Famous Illinois Author table! Hooray for STBF representing at the fair!! As the 2016 winner of this award, it was a treat to meet the newest recipients! Networking continued throughout the day, and I enjoyed meeting readers, talking about my craft, and signing copies of When Walls Talk (2024) and Lines (2015). Even my sons and J. Shep made it out on this beautiful day!
