# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Local Author/Artist Meet and Greet
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 08 Oct, 2026 at 04:30 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: ☕ Coffee & Conversation with a Local Author & Artist

Have you read one—or all three—of my Buffettesque Suspense Series books? Have you purchased some of my Crystal Lake postcards and artwork?

Maybe you've already been part of one of the local book clubs I've visited this summer. Or maybe you picked up a copy at Lake Roots or Aroma and don't belong to a book club but would like to discuss the books.

I'd love to simply meet you and talk.

On Thursday, October 8th from 4:30pm-6:30pm Aroma Wine and Cafe (in downtown Crystal Lake) is hosting a Meet & Greet of two local artists, and I happen to be one of them. No admission, no obligation to buy anything—just coffee/wine/spirts, conversation, and a chance to meet other local readers and artists.

Come by yourself. Bring a friend. Come having read one book in the series or all three. We can talk about my artwork or my books, the Crystal Lake inspiration behind both, the writing process—or whatever you're curious about.

And who knows? Maybe a few local readers who don't currently belong to a book club will meet each other and decide to start one. 😊

I'll be there either way! So there's absolutely no need to worry about whether anyone else will show up.
