Philadelphia Book Festival




What a wonderful time I had in the City of Brotherly Love! The festival's upbeat spirit was not broken by the blustery winds on Saturday nor the raindrops Sunday afternoon.




I shared the Infinity Booth with a few authors each day and enjoyed sharing our publishing insights. I had a chance to walk around the festival and chat with other authors. I was delighted to see my friend, Austin Camacho, there with his mystery books. At the end of this message is a list of the authors that attended, their books and URL's if they have one.




I had coloring pages made from the sketches in my horse books and the youngsters who stopped by enjoyed being artists! I displayed some of their work while others chose to take their artwork home. I even met a few adult horse lovers!




Several costumed characters entertained the crowds and I'm pictured with a Star Wars storm trooper! Darth Vadar made an appearance and Winnie the Pooh!
