My two writing obsessions—novels and travel writing—come together next week in Winchester, Virginia.

Winchester is the site of this year’s Mid-Atlantic Travel Public Relations Alliance (MATPRA) Media Marketplace, an event I’ve attended as a travel writer for many years.

This year, I’ll also be going as a new novelist. I’m going to sign my book at Winchester Book Gallery Tuesday, Sept. 12, 3-5 p.m.

I’m looking forward to the event. Since it was inspiration gained during my travel writing days that led to DIVIDED LOYALTIES, I’m very excited to bring these two passions together right here in Winchester. Thanks to Winchester Book Gallery for the opportunity!
