On Saturday I spoke at the Turning the Page Bookstore in Monroe, Conn. Although there were only a few people in attendance, they were great and we had a wonderful time. I will post pictures when I can.

February 23, I am reading an excerpt from The Shaker Murders – and speaking about the Shakers – at the Port Jervis Library at 2 pm. Love doing these kind of events where I meet readers and answer questions. They always make me think. Open to the public.

There will be two panels in the morning and two in the afternoon followed by book signings for all the participating authors. Our featured guests: Vickie Delaney and Edwin Hill. Free and open to the public but registration is required.

Speaking
I had the pleasure of speaking at two libraries over the weekend. I met with a group at the Florida Library (in New York) on Friday and spoke at a fundraiser in Cohoes on Sunday. (It is pronounced Co-hoes, accent on the second syllable).
This is one of my favorite things to do. I do talk about my books, but the best part is always engaging the audience. I enjoy answering the questions and finding out what readers think. And it is sometimes surprising. We might have a long conversation about American History. Usually we talk about the Shakers. Or both shipping and witches in Salem. I did not realize how many see Will Rees, my main character, as self-centered.
I also get suggestions, some of which I take.Always a pleasure for me to get out into the world.
