Blogversary Month!


This blog has been churning out interesting, intriguing, and educational posts for 12 years. Since I was one of the first authors with the blog, that means I've been blogging here every month for the last 12 years!

Wow! How time flies when you are busy and enjoying life. 

In the last twelve years, I've been an Indie author. That means I write, get help editing, format, and publish my own books. It has been a learning experience and a fun way to meet authors and readers. Writing has taken me places for research, conferences, and bookstores.

This week, I'm on a book tour with crime fiction author Dwight Holing. We are giving a talk about our series which are similar and set in Oregon. We'll discuss why we picked Oregon as the location, why we chose to have Native American elements, and how we come up with stories as well as some stores want us to read from our current books. 

I'll be reading from Bear Stalker, book 10 in my Gabriel Hawke series. 

Here is the schedule of the places where we will be:

May 1st - at Bloomsbury Books, Ashland, OR  7-8 pm

May 3rd - at Paulina Springs Books in Sisters, OR 6:30-7:30 pm

May 4th - at Roundabout Books, Bend, OR 6-7 pm

May 5th – At Grass Roots Books in Corvallis, OR 6:30 pm

May 6th - at Jan's Books in Beaverton, OR 11am-1pm


If you live near one of these places, I'd love to visit with you! 

Being part of this blog for 12 years has introduced me to new to me authors, I've learned things, and felt a part of a writer's community. I'm looking forward to many more years with Romancing the Genres.

It's been a fun 12 years, Paty!!! I've been a fangirl from way back. I'm planning on meeting you and Dwight at Jan's Paperbacks in Beaverton.

Paty, we've loved having you with us at Romancing The Genres from the beginning. I'm also "a fangirl from way back". Not sure I'll make it in person to Jan's on the 6th, I'll be there is spirit for sure. May the Best of all Things come to you and Dwight on your book tour!!!

12 Years. Too bad I am not in your part of the world, or I'd be at one of these locations. Maybe some day. Happy Anniversary!
