Past Events

I'm back at one of my favorite places, the Venice Gardens civic Center on shamrock Blvd in Venice. It's a small event but the vendors and organizers are great and the cheesecake for the back sale is to die for. It runs 10a - 3p. You never know what you might find to start your Christmas shopping.

I know it seems like a strange place but I'll be there with a few select few other vendors. The event is open to the public from 10a - 2p and located at 1020 N. Tamiami Trail in Sarasota. I'm bring my Florida theme books and my children's books and crossing my fingers for a good turn out. It's still early in the season so I'm rolling the dice on this one.

It will be here before you know it and summer will be gone.

I'll be at the Venice Gardens Community Center on Shamrock Blvd. from 10a - 3p Saturday September 6.

It's a small but mighty event that I enjoy very much. The vendors are great and the cheese cake is wonderful. I think I'd go just for that.

Most vendors come back every month so you get to know them. They have baked goods and hotdogs for lunch.

Stop by and support your local community.

I'll have my newest book, The Preserve, there for my...

I did this one a few years back and it looks like they have expanded a lot since then. I can't wait to go. I'll be inside with fellow authors, Jeanelle Havlin and Kevin Kuhens. I'm going to grab some BBQ for lunch and some of the strawberry shortcake, yumm. I know it's out a ways but it will make for a great day trip and you can explore the antique shops in Arcadia while you're there.

Stop in and see me. Most of my books are set in the Arcadia and Myakka area.

I'm doing double duty today. I'll be at the Venice Book Fair in Blalock Park near the Venice Library from 9a to 3p. Then I wiz over to Miami Ave for the Island Book shop where I will be talking about the Green Lady Inn Mystery series. Drop in to one or both of the events.

I will be giving a talk about The Green lady Inn mystery series at the Island Book Shop in Venice Florida.

I had great fun with this series. A young woman is receiving very cryptic messages from a long dead ancestor. These messages always come with a sense of foreboding. She has to decipher the messages to find the meaning behind them. The woman's guest house is spook central and nothing is as it seems including her guests. Most of her guests turn out to be crooks of one type or another.

Another great event in Sarasota. This one is located downtown near the Selby Library in Five Points Park. Unique upmarket arts and crafts will be on display for you. Stop by on you way to the Farmers Market down on Lemon. Enjoy lunch at one of the restaurants, where you will find plenty of outdoor seating. I'll be there signing my books along with fellow author Lucy Tobias. I'd be happy to sign one just for you.

The best little Arts and Craft event in the area. The organizers and other vendors are super friendly and welcoming. I attend this one every chance I get. I always get a cup of coffee and slice o cheesecake. It's the best. Stop by if you are in the area. You will not be disappointed.

This is a special event I was asked to participate in. As an author literacy is very important to me and I have participated in several events like this over the years, usually for children. I will be at the Manatee River Garden Club with two other authors, Lucy Tobias and Anne Easter Smith. We each have very different books.

Lucy is an award will author with travel and Florida gardening books and a very special children's book, Mary Margaret Manatee. Mary Margaret is in English and is Spanish...
