Book Fun in the Sort-of Sun

I recently had the privilege of participating in a local author event at the Fuller Public Library in Hillsborough, NH. Library director extraordinaire Samantha Gallo organized the event with 7 local authors.

The forecast called for cold and rainy but Mother Nature was on our side. It turned into a beautiful day, partly sunny yet cool enough to keep the May flies away!

Authors at the event were:

• A.L. Aborn (the author with the most local contacts; seriously, her table was an endless parade of friends and family!)
• Riley Coker (the youngest author there)
• Karen Coulters (prettiest book covers; click through to her website to see if you agree)
• Lisa Q. Mathews (best outfit – check out her “Crime Scene Do Not Cross” yellow scarf in the photo)
• Sue McPhee (most intriguing memoir; read about it here)
• S.M. Stevens (yours truly)
• Cynthia Van Hazinga (the most prolific author there with 20+ titles to her credit!)

I was joined by the illustrator of my books Horseshoes and Hand Grenades and Shannon’s Odyssey — Natalie Simone, she of the rainbow hair. The ebook version of Shannon’s Odyssey, btw, is only $0.99. You don’t get the stunning cover art but you do get a 5-star rated story.

Thanks to Samantha for organizing the event.
