Where I've Been
A Great Book Fair in a Great Location
What better place to have a book fair than at a library! I was very impressed with library itself, and this well-run event that attracted a good number of people--authors and readers alike! My illustrator, Kristina Helfert, shared the table with me.
Lots of People Came to Get Finely Crafted Words at the Craft Fair!
I shared my table with Susan Lawrence, another local author, and we were pleasantly surprised at how many people were interested in our books in spite of this event not being author-oriented. I had good sales and great conversations with many people.
Short but Sweet!
Although this book fair was only two hours long, my illustrator, Kristina Helfert, and I met many enthusiastic readers.
Red Acre Barn Holiday Market
2 December 2023, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
3 December 2023, 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Although this popular event was mainly a crafts fair for Christmas shoppers, many people were interested in crafted words! I shared a table with another author under the title "Iowa Authors" and many people purchased books for themselves or as gifts. What greater present is there for an avid reader than a book?
The setting was beautiful and the people a joy to talk with.
