2019 Author Events UPDATE
UPDATE: Added in a new event in Winnsoboro, TX on May 4th. See below:
Well, we had some bad luck with the Brazos Valley Book Festival in Bryan, TX, slated for March 30th. It seems a great many authors lost faith in the promoter, the so-called "Texas Authors Assoc." So, dozens of them decided not to join the Bryan festival after a shockingly low turnout at the Take 190 festival in Killeen. It was safe to say there was little promotion for the event prior. I learned from other authors that many had spent their own money on advertising to generate some traffic but w/o any sponsors at all from the main promoter, it was a long day. This author personally saw 25-30 festival goers the entire 5 hours, so I can't say I blame the other participants for not making the journey to Bryan in 2 weeks.
Anyhoo...this is what remains now of the author events I have planned thus far for 2019. If I can find more events I'll post them here.
Meanwhile, check out my new link that I added to my website for the video podcast!
