I love the Baltimore Book Festival. I buy too many books to carry and meet authors I LOVE. Now that I have a book of my very own published, I get to meet people who have read my book or who want to read it. It’s humbling and so exciting.

This year, I’ll be at the book festival all three days. Find me early helping to set up and then I’ll appear on three panels: two on historical fiction and one that’s just for grins and giggles.

The festival goes on 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor Friday, Sept. 29 to Sunday, Sept. 30. Did you say you’ll like to see me? Oh stop, I’m blushing. But you’ll find me

• Friday at 1 p.m.— Bringing the Past to Life: Historical Romance Style
• Saturday at 1 p.m. — Beyond Mr. Darcy: Weaving History into Fiction, and
• Sunday at 11 a.m. — Book Cover Bingo.

All three are panels with truly gifted writers. I’m excited to have the opportunity to meet those I haven’t met before.

Hope to see you there. It’s always fun.
