I keep thinking it has to be almost bedtime, but it’s not. It’s not even dark here yet. It’s just about 4:30 PM here, which means that in addition to being a Monday, today is about 40 years long.
Why is today being about 40 years long?
Because this past weekend was three days long. Three days of Maker Faire, where I am apparently a local celebrity. Now, I had no IDEA of this. None. Not until someone came by the table to say hi, and told me that when she’d mentioned seeing me, her adult daughter gasped, “She’s going to be there?”
Readers, you could have knocked me over with a feather. And it wouldn’t have had to be a heavy feather either, because I am TIRED. That was… a lot. A lot of a lot. A lot is legion. And I was not expecting it.
When we left the house Friday, I said to Darling Editor, “Today is Field Trip day. I don’t expect to make any sales today. It’ll mostly be networking and outreach.”
WRONG!
I’m not sure why, but I had more traffic and more interest (and more sales) at Maker Faire than at any book related event I’ve done this year. There were people I spoke to on Sunday who said “Yeah, I was there/came by the table yesterday, but I couldn’t get close enough to say hi.” I’m sold out of some titles, and low enough on others that I didn’t think I’d go home with any. Orders have been placed, and will hopefully be here before the Winter Bazaar Renaissance Festival on December 6th, which is our next show.
Maybe I’ll be awake by then.

A hero. A son of Eire. A reckoning long overdue.
Lorcan never asked for glory. Crowned a noble and hailed as a savior after crushing rebellion, he walks the marble halls adored by all—except himself. Haunted by prophetic visions, he sees not triumph, but torment: his family caged, his homeland threatened, and his cousin’s dark ambitions on the rise.
He knows where he must go.
Leaving behind the splendor of Empire, Lorcan returns to the emerald wilds of Eire, where ancient magic stirs and old loyalties are tested. Beside him stand his mates and his chosen kin—fierce, loyal, and willing to follow him into the heart of danger. But the blood that binds can also betray, and the most dangerous enemy may not be on the battlefield… but seated at his own family’s table.
