~Random Ramblings from a Book Lover~ My Authors in the Steel City Book Haul

You've gotta love an author event that's close to home, and this was only about 40 minutes from my house to the hotel where the event was taking place.  And, it's really exciting to visit with authors who share my home town as well as catch up with some of the authors I've met at...

~Random Ramblings from a Book Lover~ Lake Erie, PA

We were not able to take a big vacation this year, but I was able to sneak up to Lake Erie with my husband and daughter for a few days. My husband and I both went to in this area (met and married here as well) but have not lived in Erie for almost 15...

~Random Ramblings from a Book Lover~ My Angels & Sirens Book Haul

Angels & Sirens was an amazing experience this past weekend!  I only had one pre-order this signing because I really wanted to walk around and see what snagged my attention.  I have to say that I truly love this event.  With just around 40 authors at the signing, readers really have time to chat and...

~Random Ramblings from a Book Lover~ A Trip to the Book Store

Family vacations are typically pretty laid back for us . . . lots of swimming in the pool, shopping for kitsch at the local stores, and a margarita in the hot tub at night.  We are not "planners" or "on-the-goers" that need somewhere to be all the time.  However, when I saw there was a...
