As a prelude to the Annual Celtic Festival in Southern Maryland, I was invited by my friend Jennifer Cooper to work with her and her guitarist Carl Reichelt (known professionally as 'GrooveSpan duo), to fill in when they took a break. I know a couple of chords and sing a few Celtic songs, so I welcomed the opportunity. The venue was a popular local winery called Perigeaux, and the manager invited me to promote my book while I was there. The event was most enjoyable and several books were sold.
The festival was the next day. I had paid to be a vendor and to sell my book there, so I arrived early to set up next to another author I met a last year's festival. Ben Anderson has a series of fantasy books called "The McGunnegal Chronicles" Considering that Ben had much experience selling his books at similar venues, he was very helpful to me in succeeding at the festival. We are friends and not really competing for readers. Ben's books are targeted t younger readers than my target audience. His books are magical, check them out.
I next will be at the Mid Maryland festival on June 16, 2018. If you're in the area of Frederick, MD, stop by the author's tent and say hello.
