The first annual Siouxland Libraries Author Fair was a success! At least from my perspective. I guess you’ll have to ask the Siouxland Libraries their opinion of the event. Here’s my brief recap. Story told through pictures.


Siouxland Libraries Author Fair – Navigation Publishing Panel
I was inviting to speak on a panel about “navigating book publishing”. The panel had a mix experience and varied genre expertise. We offered our thoughts on book covers, marketing, pros and cons of self-publishing vs traditional publishing and if (when) the A.I. robots were going to take our jobs, if not destroy humanity altogether. It was an honor to share the stage/panel with these amazing authors and artists:
Hector Curriel – artist, illustrator and cartoonist. Author of the graphic novel “American Ace: Joe Foss, Fighter Pilot”
Amy Daws – wildly successful and prolific (23 books!) romance author
Mary Winters – author of historical mysteries and cozy mysteries (under the pen name Mary Angela)




Thank you, Siouxland Libraries, for the awesome event and opportunity!
