Christmas is coming and so are the local holiday gift fairs. I’m scheduled to appear at two major events to sell and sign all five of my books, The Meredith Ryan Mysteries, (most) set in Sonoma and Marin Counties. I’ll also have a three book cozy mystery series available, Layers of Mystery, by “Leanne Baker” (my pen name) set in the Eastern Sierra area of Bishop and Mammoth Lakes, California. Finally, I will offer an anthology of international law enforcement stories, To Serve, Protect, and Write: Cops Writing Crime Fiction.

Last year, my sisters persuaded me to go to the Rohnert Park Holiday Arts and Crafts Faire on the day after Thanksgiving. My first thought was old ladies who crocheted toilet paper covers, but I went anyway because I wanted to spend time with my precious sisters. What a surprise! The Faire was at a large venue, attended by hundreds during my time there and encompassed arts and crafts of all kinds. If I’d had more cash in my pocket, I would have spent waaaay too much money.

The idea of doing Christmas shopping the day after Turkey day has always kind of put me off–I’m not a fan of crowded retail stores. This Faire, however was perfect! Everything is handmade, often by locals. I thought it might be fun to have a table to sell my books. Then I took it a step further and thought about how many of my fellow authors would like to do the same.

So this year, I rented two tables and will sell my books seven other authors. For your shopping pleasure, all different genres will be available: mystery, thriller, childrens, young adult, urban art, historical fiction and memoir. A little something for everyone on your Christmas list made special by an author signature!
