Next month I'll be at an Author Showcase at my local Barnes & Noble!
They are showcasing 10 local authors (including me!) on Saturday, September 10th from 2-4pm. I'll be there to answer questions about myself and my coloring book Don't Worry, Eat Cake. There will also be sci-fi and fantasy, business books, novels and kids' authors. They'll have something for everyone :) Find out more details here.
Hi Rochester friends! I'm going to be visiting the Barnes & Noble at the University of Rochester on August 2nd, which is National Coloring Book Day, for a book signing! I'll be there from 11AM-1PM, so stop by on your lunch break for some fun coloring time :). Hope to see you there!
I'm so excited to share my feature in the Creator series in the Press & Sun-Bulletin today! I bought two copies of the newspaper this morning :D. You can read the article online here.
I think this was really my first solid interview. I'm pretty nervous talking about what I do still, a mixture of anxiety and self-doubt still lingering about, but this was more fun than I anticipated :). Last week I got to meet a photographer downtown for a quick photo shoot for the article. I sometimes feel so uncomfortable in my own body when I'm being photographed. Suddenly my legs and arms feel in the way and I forget how my face normally rests. I don't think I ever want to feel like a pro at posing and taking selfies, but I'd probably feel better if I can learn to not overthink these things too much.
I had such a wonderful time at my booksigning at Amuse in Ithaca last Friday! It was a great crowd, we had some some sunshine and only a teeny tiny bit of rain at the end, and I got to wear my new dress that has pockets! (I LOVE dresses with pockets, btw).
Being such a natural introvert, I've been quite nervous about how I would handle these social types of events. I actually think I'm getting the hang of it though. I guess when I'm promoting or talking about something that I love and put so much heart into, it's much easier than I thought to go on and on and on about it. :)
For now, that is my last scheduled event for the summer. I might try to coordinate one or two more in the area, but my event schedule is mostly free now until Apple Fest in late September. I'm really looking forward to a bit of a break. I usually do a lot more craft shows, but because of how busy I was preparing for everything to do with my coloring book, I scaled back a bit on the fairs. I love summertime so much, so I'm really looking forward to being able to soak up those hot lazy days to come.
My Book Signing for Don't Worry, Eat Cake and Handmade In America Fest are happening this Friday in Ithaca, NY! The weather should be great, there will be music and food trucks, and there will be local vendors to shop from! It's going to be an awesome start to the 4th of July weekend!
A big hug and a big thank you to everyone who stopped by my coloring event at Barnes & Noble last night! I had so much fun chatting and coloring with you! :)
