The First Friday Art Stroll is a monthly event showcasing local art, artists and creative businesses. The first Friday in December, the 5th, I will be selling and signing my books at the The Queen Bee Giftery on 25th Street. While you’re at the Queen Bee you can also get chocolates, gifts, toys and gifts for all ages. I hope to see many of my Ogdenite friends!

Utah Author’s Day

This is an event organized by the League of Utah Writers. It is held at several locations across the state, allowing local authors to meet readers. I will be participating in the event at the Weber County Library Pleasant Valley Branch, which is across the street from the Ogden Regional Hospital.

I will take part in a panel discussion along with Utah authors Rachael Bush and Natalie Shaw Evjen. It would be so exciting to me to see people that I know show up for this discussion! I will also be selling and signing my book, The Secret of Surviving In The Sea, after the panel discussion.

Book Signing at Dolly's Bookstore

I had a really fun book signing at Dolly's Bookstore in Park City on Aug. 23, 2025. It’s an awesome store, kind of quaint and personal. Sitting at my table I enjoyed engaging with anyone who looked my way. I was there for two and a half hours talking with complete strangers and I sold seven books.
