With Spring comes festivals, and I’m not talking Cherry Blossoms here! I’m talking books, and Steampunk, and fantasy, and yes, I’m already thinking about Halloween! But, let’s not get ahead of ourselves… We’ve got a lot to cover between now and then, so I want to give you the rundown of where you can find me over the next few months!

Drop into Wonderland at the Tell-Tale Steampunk Festival, taking on the theme of the wonderfully mad Lewis Carroll, April 17-19, at the Wyndam Garden York in York, PA. The 4th annual Tell-Tale Steampunk Festival, where clockwork alchemy meets magical curiosity in a world inspired by Alice in Wonderland, provides a sensational weekend of fantastical frippery and marvelous mayhem! Along the way, you’ll find plenty of steampunk and fantasy books from this indie author! Visit telltalesteampunk.com for information on tickets, hotels, and other exclusive content.

Step beyond the ordinary and wander into a world where moss-covered paths, flickering wings, and ancient songs awaken the forest… Fae in the Forest: A Fairy Festival on Saturday, May 2, from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm at Collective Spaces Farm in Nathalie, VA. I will be part of the Magical Marketplace until 5:00 pm with all my fantasy and steampunk books for readers alike. Fae in the Forest is a magical, all-ages Fairy Festival celebrating folklore, fantasy, and the living magic of nature itself. Nestled among the woods and fields of Collective Spaces Farm, this one-day immersive experience invites guests of all ages to don their finest fairy finery and join the revelry.

Prepare for a unique, fun atmosphere promoting steampunk and fantasy! The Steampunk Alchemy Fest on Saturday, June 6, at Vasa Park in Hackettstown, NJ, values creative fun, unique musical exploration, and live demonstrations. Pick up some award-winning indie books, from high-flying sky pirates to magic-powered machines in an unknown dystopia. Visit www.steampunkalchemyfest.com for information and tickets.

The countdown is on for my first visit to the Key City Steampunk Convention, taking place August 7-9, in Gettysburg, PA, at the Wyndham Gettysburg. I am thrilled to be a part of such an esteemed #steampunk convention for the very first time. Key City Steampunk has evolved into one of the most prominent steampunk festivals on the East Coast. Visit KeyCitySteampunk.com to enter the portal. 

Even though #Halloween is months away, make plans to visit a spooky #steampunkfestival! I’ll be traveling to the Catskills in New York to take part in the Catskills Halloween Market & The Steampunk World’s Fair, October 23-25, at the Blackthorne Resort in East Durham, NY. It’s filled with a great haunted marketplace, plus steampunk oddities, and, best of all, it’s FREE! From daring steampunk sky pirates to magic-powered machines, you can find a great read in one of my award-winning fantasy novels. Take to the skies as CORSAIR AND THE SKY PIRATES fight corporate greed to stop a world war. Follow the journey of THE LAST MAGUS to see if A CLOCKWORK HEART means the difference between life and death. Get your signed copy of these fantastic books for your TBR pile! Visit catskillshalloween.com for information on attending this annual haunted market!

And this doesn’t include book signings, because I will have those at Barnes & Noble stores in the DMV, as well as at the Moravian Book Shop this July. So, stay tuned for more announcements!
