My First Book Signing!

The Valley Arts Group hosted me at their Fall 2024 Exhibition’s opening reception, with a table set up for a book signing. It was a blustery fall day with atmospheric river conditions, so I didn’t expect much foot traffic, but I was pleasantly surprised!

Yesterday I was invited to display my book at the Valley Arts Group’s Fall 2024 Exhibition’s opening reception. It was a blustery fall day with atmospheric river conditions, so I didn’t expect much foot traffic, but I was pleasantly surprised!

It was a small crowd, but enthusiastic!

The artists of the Valley Arts Group had a beautiful display of a variety of styles of art, and many of their member purchased a copy of The Byzantine Cross.

I always love attending events like this! The conversations are so fun and listening to the artists talk about the how they created their art.

The end result of the evening is that for the first time ever—I sold my books! It’s a long time coming and it feels surreal to know that the story I’ve been telling myself for years is now being experienced by other readers!

I’ve been a member of the Valley Arts Group for five years, displaying my art alongside the other artists of the group. It’s been a great experience getting to know and learn from these artists, and I want to thank them for hosting my very first book signing event!

My next event is scheduled for November 20th at the Sudden Valley Library for their November Author Series. I hope the weather is better and I hope to see many more of my neighbors and friends come out for fun conversations and a peak inside The Byzantine Cross!
