Come see us and other Heart of Texas Sisters in Crime authors at the Boerne Book Festival on Saturday, 4 October in Boerne, Texas. It’s one of those names like Beauchamp: pronounced any way but what it looks like. Beauchamp in French would be Boe-SHAHM. In Texas, it’s Beecham. Boerne is Bernie.
The library is located at 451 N. Main in Boerne. Join us for a day of authors selling their books, author panels, author signings, kids’ activities, and a special visit by the book fairy. Remember, I’m selling Rained Out and Other Texas Holiday Disasters to raise funds for Central Texas flood recovery (since I wrote a story about a Central Texas flood two years before it happened. I didn’t mean to be prophetic!).
Happy and honored to be at Boerne this weekend, however you say it!
