This year’s Smash Slash Author Bash in Mishawaka, Indiana has been canceled to lack of ticket sales.


I was at Books At The Beach for the third time this year. I can’t begin to express how much I love this event. The hostesses are just amazing, and the volunteers are amazing. It’s always pleasant and successful. Not to mention that I get to see friends and familiar faces that bring joy to my heart. Catching up with all these long-lost peeps is part of all the fun.
Not to mention, this year, I had not just my husband with me but my PA, Chanel Johnson. She kept me on the straight and narrow and was terrific with the people I couldn’t entertain while I was blessed to have a small crowd. She also held my books when I shipped two seventy-pound boxes her way until I got there.
I managed an incredible book and swag haul. Please note my goodies in my pics. They won’t be doing the event next year, but I look forward to 2026. If there is a sign-up, consider me signed up.











Sultry in the City was a huge success!
I had a great time meeting great people, buying new books, and hearing more about Texas. I hope I left as good of an impression on the people there because they are sweet and seem to like the same books I do. Dirty ones! I took photos of my table but didn’t get to snap many photos of those around me.
Please check out some of the authors I did get to rub elbows with. I had dinner with Darlene Tallman and Liberty Parker. I finally got to meet the fabulous Lexi Blake, and I got the Faery series signed by her. Some authors I met who are newer to me are Kendra Moreno, Christina Berry, Sharla Wylde, and Kiersten Modglen. I bought books from Kendra and Christine, but haven’t had a chance since I got home to dig into them yet.
I want to thank Leigh M. Hall and Mariah Kingsley for hosting the event.

Last weekend was Books At The Beach in St. Pete Beach, Florida. I had a great time but in retrospect, did not take that many photos. I failed the photo boss.
The schedule was incredibly convenient for authors and attendees. Thursday was author panels. I took some time to find an incredible vegan restaurant called Golden Dinosaurs in Gulfport, and I attended John Stamp’s Law Enforcement talk. After that, I went to Sherrilyn (Kenyon) McQueen’s panel. Oh my God! She was so full of advice and tidbits about writing and publishing that I won’t share with you because what happened in that room, stays in that room. Sorry, Charlie.
