I’m excited to announce that I’ll be joining more than 70 authors, exhibitors, and literary organizations at the 10th annual Deep Valley Book Festival in Mankato, Minnesota, on Saturday, October 3, 2026!
The Deep Valley Book Festival is a celebration of books, authors, and the joy of reading, bringing readers and writers together for a full day of literary fun. Best of all, the festival is free and open to the public, making it the perfect event for book lovers of all ages.
I’ll be there with both books in my Special Agent Riley Reynolds series, giving readers the opportunity to meet me, browse the series, and pick up signed copies of:
📖 The Past We Thought We Knew
📖 The Present We Risk
Whether you’ve already followed Riley through her first case or you’re discovering the series for the first time, I’d love to meet you and talk books!
A Day for Book Lovers
The Deep Valley Book Festival will feature hundreds of books and more than 70 authors and exhibitors, along with special programs, workshops, panel discussions, book signings, and giveaways. Visitors can meet their favorite authors, discover new writers, hear authors talk about their work, and connect with other book lovers.
This year’s festival is especially exciting as it celebrates its 10th edition, and the featured keynote author is award-winning Minnesota author Kate DiCamillo.
