I'll be in Victorian garb both days, but I can't speak for Linda Joy Singleton, Christina Mercer, Author, or Nancy Herman, Author! Guess you'll have to stop by and see whether they come in costume.

How many Victorian/Olde Tyme Christmas Bazaars in California also
offer tours of a HAUNTED CASTLE? If shopping for handicrafts (and books
from four authors at my booth!), a parade, a gunslinger show, tours of
Preston Castle, and holiday lights after dark sound like your idea of
holiday cheer, then join me on December 12th and 13th for the Preston
Castle's Olde Tyme Country Christmas!

PARANORMAL PAGES: A FOUR-AUTHOR
EVENT
October 30, 2015 in
El Dorado Hills
El Dorado Hills, CA—In celebration of the
spooky season, four accomplished authors of paranormal novels for teens are
gathering at the indie bookstore Face in a Book for a night of haunting tales.
The free, themed event goes from 6 to 8 p.m. on October 30. Each author will
share an eerie excerpt from her book, followed by a group Q&A session.
Costumes are encouraged for attendees, but not required. Seasonal, themed
refreshments will be served.
The movie
industry has spawned a growing demand for supernatural stories, spurring book
sales and increasing the number of paranormal titles on store and library
shelves. Halloween is the perfect excuse
for buffs of the genre to celebrate their favorite creepy book characters, and
this event is one way for them to gather with fellow fans.
About
the authors and their novels:
Angelica R. Jackson’s darkly funny,
young adult urban fantasy novel, Crow’s
Rest, is set in a fictional town in the Sierra foothills, and was partly
inspired by a nearby haunted landmark, Preston Castle. She sometimes haunts the
Castle’s hallways herself, as she photographs the arrested decay, and will be
sharing a real-life ghostly encounter that made it into the pages of her novel.
She was featured on Sacramento Access’s Story
Connection in April, and the video is at https://youtu.be/JwRtQ3i06Ow. In Crow’s Rest, sixteen-year-old Avery
Flynn is determined to reclaim her almost-boyfriend from the Fae, with the help
of the creature who stole his body in the first place.
Linda Covella will be reading from
the first book in her Ghost Whisperer series, The Castle Blues Quake. This tale of ghosts and friendship for
teens and tweens received the
Literary Classics Seal of approval and is “highly recommended for home and
school libraries.” It’s also a finalist in the Literary Classics Book
Award (winners will be announced soon), along with her other published book,
Yakimali’s Gift, which won an honorable
mention in the RONE awards, young adult-general category. Recently published, The Ghosts of Pebble Brook Lodge, is the
second book in the Ghost Whisperer series; both Ghost Whisperer books take
place in Santa Cruz.
Linda Joy Singleton is
the author of over 40 books for kids, including the YALSA honored The
Seer series, the Dead Girl Walking trilogy, and The Curious Cat Spy Club. Her
latest book, Never Been Texted, is a
sweet romance with a touch of magic: When Ashlee’s stepdad completely
forgets her birthday she takes matters into her own hands to get the one thing
she really wants: her own cell phone. But text messages start rolling in from a
broken-hearted boy, and though Ashlee knows not all stories end happily, she’s
determined to make hers the best it can be.
Tracy Clark formerly served as the Regional
Advisor for the Nevada chapter of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and
Illustrators, and is currently a contributing writer on the YA Series Insiders
group blog. The first book (Scintillate)
in her young adult paranormal romance series, The Light Key Trilogy, won the
YA category of the 2015 Golden Quill Contest. Kirkus Review said of Deviate, the second book in the trilogy,
“Passion and power are the driving forces behind this series that
continues to deliver.” The trilogy was completed with the publication of Illuminate
in September, and her next offering, Mirage, a young adult thriller, is
due in the summer of 2016.
Face
in a Book is located in the El Dorado Hills Town Center, at 4359
Town Center Blvd., #113, El Dorado Hills, CA 95762. 916-941-9401.
All
authors are available for phone or email interviews.

Roseville's Litfest from 2010 came back again this year on April 14, re-branded as the Northern California Storybook & Literature Festival. This was a free event with a few workshops and panels, but was mainly put on to offer local authors a chance to celebrate their books and connect with readers.
My crit partner Rachel Allen Dillon had a lovely booth setup
And gave a wonderful presentation on writing and illustrating her picture book, Through Endangered Eyes
And fellow Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators member Lori Mortensen braved the chilly weather to showcase her picture books
while I went to go watch the Young Adult Fiction panel (left to right: Linda Joy Singleton, Kim Culbertson, and Pamela Johnson [Jennifer Walker was on the panel too but all the pictures of her came out blurry because she was fiddling with her hair--sorry, Jennifer!])
All in all, this was a great local event and I hope they continue to do more of them!
P.S. Rachel Allen Dillon, Lori Mortensen, and Linda Joy Singleton will all have items in the Pens for Paws Auction! Make sure to follow over on the Pens for Paws Auction site if you'd like to bid.
