Heartspoken Book Events Coming

Online Ordering options:

If you can’t get to one of my book-signing events, you can always order online (CLICK HERE for options, including Amazon (Hardcover, paperback, Kindle) and my Heartspoken Bookshop (Hardcover and paperback) and then let me know via this website’s contact page if you want me to send you a signed bookplate to peel off the backing and stick in your book. 

Signed books available in Woodstock and New Market, VA!

Joy Nault, owner of Travelers Treasures (118 N. Main St., Woodstock, VA), has started carrying books by local authors. Mine (both hardbound and softbound) are all signed. Cristi Coryell at The Buttercup in New Market (9431 S. Congress St) is also carrying signed copies of both. These delightful shops are also chock full of wonderful gifts for everyone on your list!  

Upcoming events

One of the joys of publishing a book has been interacting with readers and hearing about what they like and what they want more (or less) of. I would love to see you at any of the public events below — either to purchase a signed copy of HEARTSPOKEN: How to Write Notes that Connect, Comfort, Encourage, and Inspire or to bring a book you’ve already purchased for me to sign. It would make a great gift for a graduate or newlywed—or any occasion for the avid note and letter writer. Pair it with some lovely notecards by your favorite artist!
