Where in the World Am I?!? #EventSchedule #Authorlife

Happy New Years!

I've been very busy writing and planning. Would you like to meet me? Get a signed paperback? Talk writing? Geek out about random biological phenomena? Well, here's my current schedule for author events:


1. March 16-18, 2018: Capital City Comic Con, Victoria BC



2. May 18-20, 2018: Creative Ink Festival, Burnaby BC


I'm also hopeful to attend the following once registration is open:

  • August: Cobble Hill Fair, Cobble Hill BC
  • September: Word Vancouver, Vancouver BC
  • Fall: Emerald City Author Event, Seattle WA



Is there an event you'd like to see me at?

      Happy New Year Karilyn! I wish I was going to RWA! Maybe next year. It'll either be RWA or RT that I'll try to add to the roster. Right now I'm trying to focus on events that are closer to home. It's such an expense for me to go to the USA and if there's not a book seller in place, I can't sell books (legally), either. :-/

      Totally understand. The only reason I'm going to RWA this year is b/c it's in town. :) Which means no airfare for me! ha! :) Not sure if I'll be going next year. We shall see!

    Have you ever been to SIWC – Surrey international writers conference?
    It's held every year, in October, I think. I attended the conference years ago when there were about 20 of us, before it went international and became a huge event. It attracts writers, from aspiring to some big name, agents and editors from all over the world.

      I've applied twice to go as a presenter/panelist/author signing, but each time have been told they've "already procured their quota of authors for my genre." I'd love to go, so maybe I'll just have to go as a guest, and soak in the experience. Apparently they now have SiWC at Sea! I'd LOVE to do that, but I'll probably have to wait until the kids are older. My husband only gets so many days off and the youngest is too young to leave that long with anyone other than us. *sigh*

      You're in BC, right? Are you attending any local author events this year?

Kickass Heroines by Melissa Snark

THE KICKASS HEROINES BUNDLE  The Kickass Heroines Bundle - Curated by Melissa Snark TL/DR: Get your StoryBundle with Kickass Heroines here:  https://storybundle.com/heroines What does it take to qualify as a kickass heroine? Tough question. Curating this bundle has taken me on a journey of discovery into nuances—everyone has their own definition. Often while talking to a prospective author, they would say, "I'm not sure my heroine kicks ass BUT…" She does in her own way. Every woman is the heroine of her own heroic journey, and that doesn't always mean what we might assume. Heroism is about helping others; acts of heroism can be great or small. I would like to give a shout out to the real-life heroine-volunteers of Knitted Knockers [https://www.knittedknockers.org/] who make special handmade breast prosthesis for women who have undergone mastectomies or other procedures. A portion of the proceeds of this bundle will go to benefit the Knitted Knockers c...

For This Knight Only - by Barbara Bettis

I'm thrilled to have Barbara Bettis visiting my blog today to discuss her upcoming release. Barbara is one of those authors who is ALWAYS there for others. She's always helping and mentoring other authors and I'm very thankful to have "met" her in the rose garden (The Wild Rose Press). Thanks for hosting me today, J.C. I’m eagerly looking forward to March 18 for the release of my new medieval, FOR THIS KNIGHT ONLY. For those familiar with my other three books, you’ll recognize the h/h—Roark and Alyss. I love their story and I’m so happy it’s finally here. Good news—until March 18, the book is on PRE-ORDER SALE for 99 cents. And you’re all invited to my Facebook party from 8-11 Eastern tonight to celebrate the book’s upcoming release. Great guest authors, contests, and giveaways. Hope to see you there! Here’s a bit from the book. He’ll do anything for land, even marry her; she’ll do anything for her people, except marry him.  If only either...
