Taking you with me to the LA Times Festival of Books this past weekend, where I did a signing at the Mysterious Galaxy booth, but sharing some real talk about the ebbs and flows of author opportunities and what it really can look like for a non-famous, midlist/mid-career author. Some events surprise you, and always always be good to the bookstores who are good to you! (if you want signed copies of my books, Mysterious Galaxy has a bunch in stock right now!)
