It's here and it's happening! Yours truly is at the Local Author Fair at the Westminster Farmers Market, 8-12. Even if it's just to say hi, come on by and support local authors with your smiling faces.

The Local Author Fair is this weekend! Stop on by the Westminster Farmers Market to see your local authors in the wild (like me). And get some good, signed books while you're at it.
Fun for the whole family!
