Book Signings & Events
Book Signing
We’re kicking off the Atlantic Coast book tour with the Barnes & Noble of Walpole Mall, located at 82 Providence Hwy, East Walpole, Massachusetts. I’ll take a brief break from slurping oysters to sign books and chat—and then probably buy some books for myself. They always place me in the fantasy aisle next to all the good stuff—it’s entrapment!
Book Signing
My second signing of the tour will be the B&N of Wareham, Massachusetts. I can’t say I’m looking forward to dealing with Boston traffic, but I am looking forward to meeting fans!
Book Signing
Fun fact: my grandfather used to work at this exact Barnes & Noble! He was in the music section. The man had many skills, but retirement wasn’t one of them.
Charity Book Signing
“Born out of the AIDS crisis in New York City, Housing Works is a healing community that fights for inclusive care, social justice, and an end to homelessness. Our integrated healthcare, life-changing services, relentless advocacy, and social enterprises break barriers and involve the whole community in building a more compassionate and equitable world.”
I’m donating 25 copies of Heart of Iron to Housing Works’ bookstore, where all proceeds will go toward their mission. And yes, I’ll be there Nov 10 to sign them, so get your copy before it’s gone!
Book Signing
I’ll be signing books at the B&N located in Fashion Center Paramus. (No idea why it’s called that—I’ve never been to Jersey before.)
Book Signing
I’ll be signing books on Staten Island! We scheduled it so you’ll have time to slog through the notorious NYC traffic.
Book Club Talk
Fox Chase Free Library of Philadelphia has a book club—and guess which book they’re doing for November! I’ll be swinging by for discussion and Q&A. Support your local library!
Book Signing
I’ll be signing books at the Doylestown Barnes & Noble—and I’ll have to try one of those Philly cheesesteaks and Philly hot dogs, too. (Is there a difference?)
Book Reading, Signing and Q&A
For my last stop on my Atlantic book tour, I’ll be in D.C. reading a bit from Heart of Iron, talking to fans, and signing books. After this, I’m going back home to the Twin Cities.
Next tour will start in either January or February, when I get sick of the Minnesota winter and the states hugging the Gulf of Mexico start looking good.
Freedom to Read Book Fair
The Freedom to Read Book Fair is all about banned books! I’ll be doing a reading and signing 4pm - 5pm. Come support the fight against banning books!
This is a paid event, so be sure to get your ticket here.
Heart of Iron Launch Party!
Come celebrate the start of the CaFae Latte book series with me in Minneapolis! Queermunity is hosting this launch party with drinks and snacks. (Just some snack trays, like fruit, meat/cheese, etc. Nothing fancy.)
The local bookstore Magers & Quinn will provide books for sale. I’ll be there signing, do a reading, and mingling from 5:30pm - 8:30pm on Wednesday, Oct 8th. You can show up any time. Cosplay is welcome, but not at all required. Just don’t show up naked. :)
Queermunity is located at 3036 Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55408. It’s on the second floor, but there’s an ADA elevator.
To make sure we have enough snacks, seats, and books, please fill out this RSVP form. See you there!

Booklovers' Con 2025: Vegas
I’ve been to a couple of BLCs as a reader. This is the first time I’m going as a published author! We’re still in the early stages of figuring out events/panels/etc, but I think I can safely say I’ll be signing a lot of books. :)
