Local Events
When I started writing last year, I was completely unaware of how supportive Kansas City is towards local authors. It’s been a pleasant surprise to learn that KC has an inordinately large number of indie bookstores per capita. And there seems to be a swell of support for local authors and artists happening now that I am so here for.
So, below is a list of the local author events I will be attending for the rest of August and September.
Saturday, August 17 & Sunday, August 18

Grimm Masquerade at Cable Event Center
1327 Burlington St, Kansas City, MO 64116-4024
Once upon a haunted moon came the night of forgotten lore: the Grimm Masquerade! Follow the forbidden path into a realm where tales of darkness and fantasy find romance, where fae drink in the mist, and shadows waltz in the halls. Behold the wonderful specters as they perform through the night as you enjoy potions and delicacies that fill your woes and desires. Journey through the dark woods to find merchants of old or dance with the ghosts of fairytales past. Join us, where grim paths and enchanting beauty live lamentfully ever after.
I will be signing and selling books at this event. I will also be wearing a phoenix costume, provided I pull it together in time.
