In-Person Signing at B&N White Marsh July 30, 2023
In VINYL RESTING PLACE, Juni and her sisters were shocked to discover a dead body in the storage closet during the grand opening of Sip & Spin Records. I’m crossing my fingers that nothing like that happens during the Grand Opening Celebration of the Barnes & Noble White Marsh in Maryland (8123 Honeygo Blvd Suite E, Baltimore, MD 21236).
To help B&N mark their newest Maryland bookstores, I’m going to be signing books and chatting with readers along with the amazingly talented Misty Simon/Gabby Allan and Mindy Quigley. Come see us at B&N White Marsh on Sunday, July 30, 2023. I’ll be signing from 11 AM – 2 PM.
- Catching a killer without skipping a beat. Olivia Blacke, author of VINYL RESTING PLACE and A FATAL GROOVE, will be signing from 11 AM – 2 PM
- The bubbly fun of a rom-com meets the irresistible quirkiness of a cozy mystery in this buoyant new rom-cozy set off the coast of Southern California. Come meet Misty Simon, aka Gabby Allan, author of ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT OLD and MUCH ADO ABOUT NAUTICALING.
- Fresh mozzarella, tangy tomato sauce, and murder are the perfect recipe for this delectable new series. Mindy Quigley, will be signing SIX FEET DEEP DISH and ASHES TO ASHES, CRUST TO CRUST.
The cure for FOMO
Too far away from the DMV (that’s DC/Maryland/Virginia for all y’all that think I was talking about the place where you update your driver’s license)? Fear not! You can always catch me on podcasts, like the latest episode of Beachbum Bookworm, where we talked about writing styles, the icky side of murder, puns, and hockey!
