It’s been a quiet year for author events so far (which is okay with me, given the lousy weather in New England in the winter and the busy fall I had). I’ve also been a bit quiet here on the blog this year because I’ve been busy writing, writing, writing. But I’m excited to announce two events for this year with hopefully more to come.
The first one is only a couple of weeks away! I’ll be attending the Local Authors Fest at the Public Library of New London on Saturday, March 23 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. There will be a whopping 50 authors in attendance! Grabbed a signed book, enter the raffle, take a photo with an author, and listen to a select group of authors speak about their books and writing journeys. There will be children’s books and adult books in all types of genres, so something for everyone. I’ll have copies of my YA fantasy ELIXIR BOUNDand my middle grade adventure PIRATE ISLAND, and some book swag too.
I’m please to also announce that I’ve been selected as one of the authors in this year’s Connecticut Authors Trail. I’ll be at the Voluntown Public Library on Monday, August 5 at 6:00 p.m. to talk about my writing journey and PIRATE ISLAND. I’ll have more details about this event soon and CT Authors Trail finale event at Mohegan Sun in September.
If any educators and librarians are interested in booking me for a writing workshop or talk, I have spots open for this year as well. Check out my author visitspage for more details or email me at KatieLCarroll @ yahoo.com (minus the spaces).
You are looking great Katie! And congratulations on being selected as one of CTs trailblazers 🙂 I hope spring is just around the corner–otherwise it’d be too long a winter.
Thanks, Vijaya! Winter has been hanging on for a long time here. I’m itching to come out of my hibernation. 🙂
Awesome Katie! Sounds like some pretty cool events 🙂
Thanks! It’s always fun to get out and talk to readers and other writers, too.
That green bandana works for me. I’d come if I could!
That’s my subtle pirate look I do for PIRATE ISLAND events. Maybe one of these days we’ll be in the same part of the world to meet up.
