Here’s the Unsolicited Press table at the Bay Area Book Festival on Sunday. So inspiring to hang out with brilliant authors and see the other exhibits as well as some stellar events. Pictured are Kerry Donoghue, Patricia Q. Bidar, and LeeAnn Pickrell. Other UP authors on hand were Paul Justison and Sommer Schafer. I also saw several friends from the SF Writers Grotto and made new friends. Such fun, I love the BABF!

Check out the left end of the table. It’s always such a thrill to see my books in the wild. 🙂
