Local Author Fair on a beautiful blue sky day, in Elk Grove CA 💙
I'm once again at my happy place, surrounded by great books and talented indie authors - come on over!
@seatbooks.bsky.social
@waterbearerpress.com

The author stands at the MonarcWriter table at the authors fair.

All set up and ready at @seatbooks.bsky.social. So excited to be a part of this Local Authors Fair!!!

Are you a local romance author, or vendor with romantic themes? We're looking for more vendors and authors to fill out #BookstoreRomanceDay on 8/9! The $40 vending fee includes a market spot and inclusion on our social media marketing. Email Events@ASeatAtTheTableBooks.Org for more information.

I remember seeing Nikki Giovanni speak many many years ago and she said exactly this. That there's no point trying to get people to fix their hearts—make them fix their actions.

Whether there's hate in their heart is their problem, but whether there's hate in their behavior, well, now that's mine.

Queer women+, test your knowledge on all things Y2K at a fun and inclusive #trivianight. Whether you're a trivia master or just looking to have fun, this event is perfect for all queer women+. Bring your squad or come solo and meet new friends. www.eventbrite.com/e/1486936991...

Coming up tomorrow! 💙📚💙📚💙 See you at @seatbooks.bsky.social in #ElkGroveCA 💙
