Upcoming Events
Tuesday, November 10, 2015, 7 p.m. – Garnett Public Library, Garnett, Kansas
Thank you for so enthusiastically receiving Shadow on the Hill: The True Story of a 1925 Kansas Murder. It has been an incredible experience to travel around Kansas and talk with readers about this story. After a lively discussion, the question I am most often asked is, “When’s the next book coming out?”
In order for a next book to come to fruition, I need to dedicate what precious hours I have outside of my (awesome) bill-paying day job to writing. Unfortunately, this means I will not be accepting most invitations for speaking engagements, author fairs, book discussions, or other events so that I can finish researching and writing the next book–one I hope you’ll want to talk about just as much as Shadow on the Hill.

Have you contacted Pioneer Bluffs in Matfield Green? They sometimes have lectures on historical subjects.
Good idea, Rachel! I was contemplating places that might be willing to host me in Chase County. Thanks for the suggestion!
Would you be interested in doing an event at the Wichita public library if they wanted you?
Because my cousin works there and I know they’d want you!
I would love to do a presentation in Wichita if they think I’m a good fit for their patrons! I know a lot of people in the area have asked about the book.
Sweet! I messaged my cuz but it’s not her dept–hopefully she can tell me how to get you scheduled for an event. I was looking at your schedule and it all conflicts with mine so I thought….I’m gonna bring her to me! haha
