The Book Fair in Bel Air is a wrap. There was so much to do, so many things to see, including some new and old fans! I had a blast. Yet, I’m really glad it’s over. Here’s a recap of the sights and sounds.
First, a shout out to all the lovely influencers who were there. I had several stop by and talk to me about my books. Like this lovely lady:
That’s Kirsten from Read with Kirs on Instagram. She stopped by the table and fell in love with at least one bad boy so hard, she took him home. Sorry, Izzy, Sketch is hers now.
Also showing up and giving the SWAG: Hardback Life.

Biscotti from the Screaming Bean stole my heart with all the chocolate YUM and their cute stickers. I can’t gush enough about those freebies. Since I didn’t get to the concession stand, it was great having the extra food stuffs at the table, and I love stickers.
Other than books what else happened?
I sat down with Rich Bennet the host of Conversations with Rich Bennett podcast, and our fifteen minutes turned into 20 when the weather turned nasty. No idea when the interview is going to be aired. I’ll keep you posted
The major thunderstorm that rolled through right as I was talking with Rich. We both looked up at the rafters overhead and wondered if the power (and the roof) was going to stay on.
What was fun?
Meeting SO many readers… And, seeing their smiles when I handed them a sticker to remind them, “it will be fun, trust me.” Or asking them to match the biker patch sticker to the correct book.
I ran out of several styles of stickers during the event there were so many people in attendance.
OH! And my table neighbor. Aubree Valentine, who was seated to my left. Her and her cute little service dog were great and so supportive.
A shout out
Special thanks to Kristie Wolf for dragging me there.
What’s next?
SMUT FEST at Xella Winery and Vineyard in Mechanicsville MD – sweet wine and spicy books, is there a better pairing? Check it out on September 13 from Noon to 4 p.m., at 26781 Laurel Grove Road, Mechanicsville, Maryland.
