Now that the paperback edition of FEARLESS SUMMER has been released, it’s time to celebrate.

Plans are still in the works for a launch in Chincoteague, the setting for FEARLESS SUMMER. In the meantime, here are the dates for book signings beginning in May.

Thursday, May 4, 6:30 p.m., at Backwater Books, Ellicott City: I am so excited to be signing books with some of my favorite (and so talented) authors. These include —
♥︎ Mona Shroff, a Harlequin author launching her newest romance No Rings Attached,
♥︎ Leslye Penelope, an award winning fantasy author whose The Monsters We Defy was honored for its audio book,
♥︎ Eliza Knight, known for her historical fiction including The Mayfair Bookshop and soon, Starring Adele Astaire,
♥︎ M.C. Vaughan, whose Charm City City Hearts series features Baltimore as its setting,
♥︎ Christi Barth,a USA Today bestselling author, whose two new romantic comedies are Escaping Valentine’s Day and The (Ex) Spy Who (Maybe) Loved Me,
♥︎ Alyssa Roberts, author of the Regency romance, Duchess Deceived, and
♥︎ M.K. Hale, whose witty romances include her new Time Share Boyfriend.

Saturday, June 17, 12 noon, Park Books, Severna Park: This is a homecoming for me. I grew up in Severna Park, wrote my first article for the Village Voice when I was in seventh grade, and decided to become a writer as a young student at St. John’s.

Sunday, July 30, 11 a.m., The Greyhound, Berlin (near Ocean City): I’ve launched every novel I’ve ever written at this charming shop in America’s Coolest Small Town. I’m not biased, of course. But I did start writing about Berlin for Frommer’s soon after Julia Roberts and Richard Gere came to town to shoot Runaway Bride.

Monday, July 31, 6:30 p.m., Bethany Beach Books, Bethany Beach, Del.: Another bookstore that’s close to my heart since we have spent many a summer vacation on the beach here. Elin Hilderbrand and Kristin Harmel are bringing their new books to this fine store—different days, darn it—but I’m still thrilled to be included in the summer fun.

Other events are in the works. Watch this space. It’s going to be a fun summer. A fearless summer, I guess I’d say.
