Buy Michigan Now Festival Author Tent

I’ve participated in the Buy Michigan Now Festival in the past, as part of the Scribe Publishing Tent. This year, I was invited to join the BMNF Author Tent! I was extremely pleased to get the invitation as I’ve always had a blast meeting people at the festival. I hope to also get to know some new fellow authors this time around.

The festival is in Northville, August 3rd-5th. I’ll be there on
