Yesterday was the annual Enid Author Fest at the Public Library of Enid and Garfield County. There were over 30 Oklahoma authors in attendance and many people attended from the community and beyond. I was set up with my books on a table for the Enid Writers Club. It was a great time. I met new authors, sold some books (bought some books, of course) and read from my latest novel Smugglers of Sandhill Island. I gave away a beach bag with the purchase of my newest book and they were adored. Cynthia Martinez of Oklahoma City is a long-term friend and makes beautiful bags. I was thrilled to have them to give away to the public.

I think I have been involved in this festival for at least 10 years, and I plan to attend from now on. I love meeting new people and discussing our love of stories.

The author fest hosts authors from all over Oklahoma, and some local ones. Surely you will meet someone new or get reacquainted with someone from your past.

I will attend the Stride Craft show with my sister next weekend and then the annual OWFI conference in May followed by the 30^th Anniversary of the Twister Movie in Wakita, OK later that month. As usual, when things start to hop, they do it in groups.

I’d love to see you at some of these events and I’m sure you would enjoy the camaraderie.

What are you reading, writing, supporting, or creating this week?
