Hi all,
I hope everyone is having a "knock-out" summer! It's going by pretty quickly, isn't it? Make sure to get those vacations in, guys. Annette and Frankie are waiting on the beach!
The ArtAffair council in Winter Park, CO, has been kind enough to allow me to peddle my writing wares (Matchmaker, Matchmaker & A...My Name's Amelia) in the town square, along with other artisans, for two years now. I really appreciate their allowing me in, as it's not been their practice to allow writers into the ArtAffair in times past. My sales have gone quite well, but the best is meeting new readers. I love it when folks happen by, to "buy!" I've met other Charlotte Bronte and Jane Austen groupies at the ArtAffair, which is too much fun. We are not alone.
Admittedly, it's a great feeling when folks stop and chat, telling me they've seen my name at the Colorado History Museum Store, or a Denver library, or on signage at The Tattered Cover, Barnes & Noble, or Borders. It's really, really great if they've read my first book and can't wait to put cold, hard cash down for my second. I love to hear back from readers re their opinion of my historical romances. We are lovers all!
Another quick note. My third historical romance, The Parlor House Daughter, has been "signed and sealed" but won't be "delivered" until the end of next year, under the Five Star Expressions Line with Five Star-Thomson Gale. They're a wonderful publisher and I'm so proud to be counted among their ranks.
As I said, have a "knock-out" rest of your summer!
Talk at ya next week...
