(April 8, 2016) Readers and followers have asked me ‘when will you be doing a book launch event for OUR SEASONS in the Tampa Bay area?’ Well, I’ve got something even better to announce. I will be taking part in the 2nd Annual Book Fair being held Sunday, May 1 inside the Commerce Club on the second floor at the Oxford Exchange in downtown Tampa. I’m excited to join more than 35 other authors in this exclusive book event right in the heart of the city and at a very popular meet-up spot for area professionals, reading buffs and families. Oxford Exchange is located at 420 W. Kennedy Blvd. in Tampa. The Book Fair and discussions taking place at this year’s event are free to attend.
I never actually held a formal launch party when I released my book OUR SEASONS in October 2015, so this is a great time to connect again with friends, followers and new and past readers of my work. I hope that you will stop by my table for a visit where we’ll be celebrating the book’s launch with bookmarks, other goodies and fun giveaways throughout the day. The fair runs from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. I’ll have both OUR SEASONS and THE MUSE UNLOCKED available for purchase and signing, for those who would like an inscribed copy. So drop by for a chat with me and the hubby. And if you’ve already purchased either or both books previously, bring them along and if you’d like me to sign them, I’m happy to do so! Maybe you would like to pick up a good read for Mom or a mother you know in your family or circle of friends. If she prefers bite-sized storytelling she can conveniently pick up and put down as her busy schedule dictates, she might appreciate the short stories and poetry that comprise OUR SEASONS. If she especially enjoys a nice, simmering romantic tale blended with humor and an irresistible leading man and quite possibly her next book boyfriend, she may prefer my contemporary romance THE MUSE UNLOCKED and meeting up with the likes of up and coming film heartthrob Oliver Sand.
This year’s 2nd Annual Book Fair at Oxford Exchange also will include a variety of other activities and participants on hand worth checking out. Lighthouse Books, the St. Pete antiquarian book shop, will be onsite in The Keynes Room with a selection of scholarly and historical literature, as well as antique maps. A curated selection of restored vintage typewriters will be on display in The Hayek Room. A few literary discussions are scheduled throughout the day including Mike Slicker of Lighthouse Books discussing The Art of Book Collecting at 11 a.m.; Blake Capser and Allison Adams sharing Oxford Exchange: Our Story at 1 p.m.; and Jen Hansard, co-founder of Simple Green Smoothies, lending her insight on From Broke to Book Deal at 3 p.m.
