Reader's World Book Signing in Sedalia, MO

October is my favorite, and I'm so excited to begin the month at my hometown bookstore, Reader's World, in Sedalia, Missouri!

If you're out and about in Sedalia on Saturday, October 1st, I'll be there signing copies of books 1 & 2 from the new Lana spin-off series in the afternoon from 1-3pm. I'll also have some bookies goodies like stickers and magnets, plus a few shot glasses for the early birds!

Spooky Season Sale!

If Sedalia is too far for you, I'm also running a Spooky Season sale in my online store. Now through October 31st, get 20% off everything (including swag and signed paperbacks) with the code spooky20. 

If you're from outside the US, the code even works for signed bookplates (which you can then add to locally ordered books that won't cost a fortune in shipping). Spooky season treats for everyone!

What I've Been Up To

As far as the writing goes, I'm still plugging away on the Reaping Up With the Joneses customer short stories (including a few extras that I can't wait to share with you!).

But when I'm away from my desk, it's all about playing with the new puppy (who has now taken a tiny bite out of every rug we own, despite having 20+ chew toys) and baking sweet treats with my sweet baby! (I don't care how old he gets--he will always be my baby.) The current favorite are these Maple Sugar Cookies, though there's been a bit of trial and error...

The original recipe called these French toast cookies. We swapped out the corn syrup for some maple syrup from my aunt and uncles maple farm in Iowa, which eliminated the need for the maple flavoring.

Though the recipe claims to yield 18 cookies, that's only if you want them to be the size of tea saucers. For perfectly average-sized cookies, we get about twice that amount. Also, you'll want to space them apart a bit more than 2 inches (as you can probably tell from the picture above).

These are so very good! Even the cramped, misshapen ones. Especially with a cup of coffee in the morning. If you'd like to give them a try, the original recipe can be found here: https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/french-toast-cookies/
