Sparks Release Party!

Sheraton Portland Airport Hotel 8235 Northeast Airport Way, Portland, OR, United States

Join me in celebrating the release of Sparks, my rural magical romance novel, at the Rose and Compass Bar at the Sheraton Portland Airport Hotel from 8 - 9 on Saturday, August 3rd. I'll be there to sign books and tell stories about horses, monsters, and whatnot. This will be an event taking place at the same time as the #Wilwrite19 event, but you do not have to attend the conference to come lift a glass in celebration of my new novel! Btw, if you can't make it or live closer to Monmouth, Oregon, don't fret. I'm planning other events at bookstores and closer to home soon! Pre-order or order here! https://amzn.to/2xJSH6Z
