“Every man jack of them voted remain, and they are considerably more leftwing than those at any meeting of any political party. In the interests of sounding mature, I should probably pretend to think there are rightwing book festivals, which people attend to worship David Starkey or ask creepy questions of Niall Ferguson, but I don’t think that. If even the Cheltenham literature festival turns the town briefly into a people’s republic, I can’t think what town would host a Toryfest.”

“The audience absolutely hate being politically misidentified, and they spend those first 10 minutes desperately signalling, with spontaneous clapping and foot-stamping, to indicate that nobody hates the government more than they. So it’s like a panto, with an audience metaphorically shouting “He’s behind you,” but really meaning it – as if you might not know.”

Fuck book banning in 2024

It's the beginning of a new month so here is the link to 2024 Book Festivals again. My community just had our book festival in March and it was, as always, a wonderful success. But April is a busy month for book festivals - so take a look and try to find one near you to attend. Or maybe take a little road trip?

Remember, a great way to fight book banning is to celebrate books!

What's Up Wednesday

Last weekend ended my book shows for this year, but I’m already lining up 2024 and even some 2025 shows, believe it or not. So far for 2024, I’m firm for Sexy & Sassy Signing (SaSS) in Norfolk, VA on July 20th and RomantiConn in Trumbull, CT the following weekend (7/27). I’ve also applied to Books Books Books, in Lancaster, PA (Sept), The Collingswood Book Fest in Collingswood, NJ (Oct) and I’ll…

I recently managed to attend Bloody Scotland, in Stirling, for the first time.

This was a really great event, and I'm already planning to return for the full three days next year.

Do book festivals sell books? Here's my experience!

With two new books being published by Shanti Arts, and wondering how best to market them, I’ve been thinking about book festivals I’ve participated in. I realize that, while these events are great for focusing on the many book genres available, I also have concluded that I probably won’t attend one again. A few years ago, I signed up for the Bay Area Book Festival in Berkeley, a relatively new…

It's book festival time

One more day until the @writewomenpub Book Fest!! I'll be under the @MarylandRomance tent. Bringing all my books published by @champagnebooks. So looking forward to talking to readers again. Covid has kept us apart long enough!

This is part of the stuff that I have to bring to the festival. Tomorrow is my first book festival since Covid canceled everything. I am joining ten writer-members of the Maryland Romance Writers under our very own tent at the Write Women Book Fest in Glenn Dale, Md. These are accomplished women from best-selling authors to undiscovered newbies who have written books everyone should read. If you…

It's been a cold, crisp, clear weekend. Pink evening light and a very light dusting of snow making everything glitter. We decided to stay in the city with our friends this year for the holidays. J surprised me by grabbing a huge tree from our local community stall. Anything to brighten these long dark winter nights ✨
