I'll be signing books at Bard's Alley Bookstore in Vienna, VA to celebrate Independent Bookstore Day on Saturday, April 30th. Hardcovers of both books and paperbacks of The Gilded Girl are available for purchase. I'll be giving away house dragon stickers and Tarnished Garden flower seeds to anyone who purchases one of my books from Bard's Alley! (While supplies last.)
