Authors are my Rock Stars. I love them. Like jump up and down and embarrass myself fangirl gushing. I have had the absolute pleasure of meeting a few over the years and I gotta say; it never loses that O-M-G feeling each and every time.
Want to see more fangirl moments?

Follow me on FB for #FangirlThursday where I interview authors, talk about current reads, and gush over all my faves! Check it out Thursdays at 7:30PM EST at 2 Girls & A Book. Catch up on past episodes on my YouTube Channel.
Charleston Penned Con 2020
Hosted by Rick and Amy Miles this was a much smaller and low key affair than their St. Louis event. I still had a blast! I met tons of new to me authors, bloggers, and readers. I got to spend time with two of my faves, E.M. Rinaldi and Martina Marie.
Penned Con 2019
This event has been on my bucket list for years. Out of the blue an old friend reconnected with me on Facebook and invited me to join her in St. Louis for Penned Con. We had a blast chatting up and sharing our love of all thinks books. We rekindled our friendship and have quite a few signings planned for 2020.

Once Upon A Book 2017
Stacey Rourke hosted the second annual OUAB Author Signing & Ball in Frankenmuth, MI. I didn't think she top last year's experience, but she knocked it out of the park! Winning Blogger of The Year was definitely the cherry on top for me. This year my mother in law, Mary, accompanied me and we had an unbelievable time.

Y'All Fest 2013
Charleston, South Carolina ~ November 2013
My first signing event! I took my stepson who was over the moon excited to see Veronica Roth. I had my very first fangirl moment with Christy Sloat. DAY MADE!!!! I honestly drove all the way there to see her. Mission accomplished. Stacey Rourke was just a tiny ball of energy. And to think she finds herself awkward. Never!!
