Live events

I had the BEST time at the 2025 Books & Brews in Lawton, yesterday! 🥳

The people were fantastic, and it was a nice venue. 

It was a little over four hours, and I sold a book every 12-15 minutes on average. And I say unto you authors...DON'T SLEEP ON SMALL VENUES.

They are more intimate. They invite conversation. Whether people buy a book or not, I simply enjoy being there and interacting with everyone. But massive appreciation from Vanessa to Taylor to Dev to Shari for purchasing my books. You made it an incredibly wonderful day!

It was a family friendly event, and I only took "Canary"-both, "Over Her Head", and "Dream Walker". I WILL be in Waukomis, Oklahoma, this Saturday with my erotic romance offerings under my pen name, C'ann Inman.

It's hard to know what to take when you're unsure about it. I brought the romance on the off-chance there might be a reader or two interested. But my big sellers were my urban fantasy and supernatural thriller. 

As my catalog grows, it's going to be up to me to decide what I want to haul with me to these live venues and figure out what works best. 

I usually brought sixty books--a nice cross-section of genres, but I don't necessarily want to haul around eighty. 

And there's no precise gauge to use. "Chimera" sold big at Book Me Romance in August. 

I'll continue to fiddle with numbers and see what works best. 

Next month finds me in Oklahoma City for "Socially Booked" and the 2025 Authors Showcase at the Sapulpa Library.

Then I'll wind down the year and start up again with "Flirty in Kansas City" 2026.

It's not work when you love what you do.
