Certainly the high point of KnottyCon Author’s Convention at the Crest Theater, Sacramento, was meeting and exchanging books with @authortarahdewitt. I am already into her novel, Left of Forever, and hope she enjoys reading Tortue du Soleil.

The wine pick-up event at Macchia Winery was a blast! Made lots of new friends and even signed and sold some copies of Tortue du Soleil!
