Is this thing on?
APRIL 22, 2026
Botanica, the Wichita GardensÂ
Tulipfest, "Petals & Poems"
Admission is $15, or members get in free.
Before then, please join my fellow Kansas Authors Club members for the other great Poetry Month events. I plan to be there, as well!
Featured poets will read their/our work, and you'll be invited to add your words to a communal poem and watch it unfold in real time. Check out the haiku station, writing prompts, and free merchandise. Chat with the authors and purchase a signed book!
April 1: Janice Northerns and Huascar Medina
April 8: April Pameticky and Kevin Rabas
April 15: Jeanice Davis and Clarence Carvel
April 22: I can't believe I get to share the "stage" with Traci Brimhall!

Thanks to Watermark for their great support of Kansas authors, and for bringing in fascinating national writers, as well!
MAY 3, 2026
Free State Book Festival
at the Lawrence Public Library
I'll be sharing a table with another fabulous local/state author (to talk about our books ... hey, maybe even sell them and autograph them, too), reading at the open mic event (organized by Beth Gulley), and probably stuffing my face with nomnoms from Mad Greek every chance I can get!
Thanks also to Anamcara Press, the Raven Book Store, and Kansas Authors Club for helping the LPL co-host this community celebration!
