I had the great good luck to find out about Anita Shreve's talk at RiverTree Center for the Arts last evening in time to actually go. What a good thing that my husband, unlike me, actually reads the newspaper we buy every Thursday. I have had the opportunity to hear her talk once before, years … Continue reading Anita Shreve in Kennebunk

Top 10 reasons to attend The New England Authors Expo
I went to The New England Authors Expo this week at The Danversport Yacht Club in (you guessed it) Danvers, MA. It was a hot summer day, and I was hopeful that the masses would like to get out of the hot sun and into the cool a/c, but not a whole lot did.

Selling my books at the Kennebunk Community Market
Today was my debut at the Kennenbunk Community Market at The Waterhouse Center. I picked a good day to start: high 50's (Hello, July? It's me, Karen. Where are you? I miss you!), with rain and wind.

She was very kind and answered all of my (zillions of) questions about how she got started and such.

How I named One Brave Thing
I wonder if all authors struggle with figuring out the title of their book. A self published author has total control over the end product, but this can be a double-edged sword.

You want it? You got it!
If you go to your local book store to buy One Brave Thing and you don't see it, here's an idea...JUST ASK! Currently, several of the shops are down to their last copy, and what if you stop in to buy my book before it's been restocked? Again, just ask at the counter, or call … Continue reading You want it?
