As the “BER” months approach, Pumpkin Spice Lattes are all the rage once more. You need a good book to read as you sip your favorite Autumn drink and I have a great place for you to find one. In the heart of Virginia, a book festival brings the best independent authors together in one place.

The Fredericksburg Independent Book Festival was born from a simple yet powerful reality: independent authors need a platform to showcase their work and connect with readers. Come out to Riverfront Park in Fredericksburg, VA, on Saturday, October 3, from 10am to 4pm. More than 150 independent authors will be on hand with books from a variety of genres. Come out and have your pick of new titles to add to your TBR pile. Visit fredbookfest.com for more information.

I will be attending this wonderful festival with all my award-winning fantasy and steampunk books to add to your reads or maybe even an early Christmas present (it’s never too early!) Pick up my latest book, A Maker of Magic, before its October 28 release or the third book of the fantasy series, The Last Magus: Demon Song! These are just a few of the books I will be offering at these events. I hope to see you there!
