Fun Events, Past, Present and Future!

It happens every time.  I wake up in the middle of the night, in a cold sweat, convinced that my nightmare will come true: that no one will show up for my book event.  Once again, you all proved me wrong. 

We had a GREAT event at Third Place Books last week to celebrate the launch of my series.  Over thirty-five people came, took a fun chair yoga class with Rene de los Santos, listened to me read some of fans’ favorite scenes, and asked questions about my path to publication.  There were even free chocolates, coffee mugs and gift cards.  For those of you who couldn’t join us, here are some photos of the fun!

 
Rene de los Santos warmed up the crowd with his smile, humor, and an energizing chair yoga class!
 
The audience asked several great questions about my writing process and path to publication.
 
I read a few of fans' favorite scenes from Murder Strikes a Pose


But the best part was getting to meet some fans for the very first time!

And now it’s time for me to take this show on the road.  My next four events will be out of town.  If you’re nearby or want a road trip of your own, please join me!

March:  Left Coast Crime, Monterrey, CA.  (March 20 – 23) I’ll be doing signings, discussing my book at the new author’s breakfast, and participating on the panel “The Sleuth’s Best Friend.”

April: Village Books, Bellingham, WA.  Sunday, April 13, 4:00 PM.  An afternoon of yoga, dogs and murder!  Local yoga teacher Abby Staten will join me to talk about her work with viniyoga, as well.

May:  Malice Domestic, Bethesda MD. (May 2 -4) I’ll be doing a singing, discussing my book at the new author’s breakfast, and participating on the panel “Taboo:  Author’s Who Tackle Difficult Subject Matter.” 

June: Jan’s Paperbacks, Portland, Oregon. Saturday, June 7, 1:00 – 4:00.  Joni Sauer Folger and I will be answering questions about our series and signing books.  We plan to make it a party!  Joni writes mysteries involving wine; I write about dogs and yoga.  Three of my favorite topics all wrapped up into one!
I hope to see some of you there, and thanks again for all of your continuing support!

Your event at Third Place Books looks like it was fun, Tracy. And your upcoming schedule looks pretty busy. I can't make most of them but I'm looking forward to Malice Domestic, too!

I love your books. You mix all my favorite things into one book...crochet, bookstores and mystery. You even managed to add cats in there too. Looking forward to the next book.
