2025 Festival of Books

I had a great time over the weekend at the 30th annual L.A. Times Festival of Books!

Worked as an Author Escort volunteer on Saturday (April 26) and signed books at Mystery Writers of America booth on Sunday (April 27), and saw panels, friends, and authors I admire all throughout. Poured rain early on, and was cold, and crowded (a good thing, that), but always a fun time, and something I’m continually happy to be part of (having volunteered there each year since 2011!).
