Greetings!
Hello! It's October!

Fall is in full swing and so is my schedule! It's been lovely seeing so many of you at my events and I hope to meet more of you. I've planned a couple of New England stops, including one in Vermont and Maine and am crossing my fingers for some warmer area events when winter strikes!

The new fun thing I've been doing  at my signings is teaching everyone how to draw a lucky Ox. I hope all of you finish off this year of the Ox with a lot of luck--come to my next book signing and I'll show you how!
