Want to see some pictures, hear stories about trails ranging from the northern Mat-Su Valley to Kachemak Bay, or snag a signed copy of Day Hiking Southcentral Alaska? Here’s my schedule of author appearances throughout Southcentral Alaska. It’s ever-growing, so make sure you check back frequently!
Thursday April 4, 6:30-9pm @ 49th State Brewing Co
I’ll be telling a story (plus selling and signing books!) as part of “Trail Tales,” an Arctic Entries-style storytelling event that benefits Alaska Trails and the Great Land Trust.
Look for my book signing table (or me on stage, with lots of other storytellers!) @ 49th State Brewing Co, 717 W. 3rd Avenue.
Saturday April 6, 5:30pm-? @ Anchorage Marriott
Feeling fancy? I’ll be ditching my trail clothes for a dress to join about thirty other Alaska authors at the Beyond the Stacks fundraiser for the Anchorage Public Library. You do need to buy a ticket for this event, which includes an author meet and greet, dinner, and more; visit the Friends of the Library for details. Book sales from ALL the wonderful authors to follow dinner.
@ Anchorage Marriott Downtown, 820 W. 7th Avenue
Thursday, April 18, 9:15-10:30am @ UAA Cuddy Hall
I’ll be giving the initial keynote for the Alaska Trails 2019 Statewide Trails Conference, in UAA’s Cuddy Hall. Come hear how taking a few risks led me straight to my heart’s greatest desire, even if I didn’t know it at the time: An unorthodox writing career. I’ll be selling and signing books here, too!
@ Cuddy Hall, 3400 Seawolf Drive
Tuesday, April 23, 4-6pm @ UAA Bookstore
Join me at the UAA Bookstore for a slideshow, some inside dirt (get it?), and various tales of oopses, ouches and brrrs from my favorite trails in Southcentral Alaska. Everybody is welcome — you don’t have to be a student, and yes, I’ll be selling and signing books!
@ UAA Bookstore, 2901 Spirit Way
Sunday, May 5, 2-4pm @ ERNC
I’m taking my slideshow and inside dirt on Southcentral trails all the way to the end of the road… Eagle River Road, that is! Join me at the Eagle River Nature Center for more stories — and pictures! — from my years on the trails. Oh, and I’ll be selling and signing books!
@ Eagle River Nature Center, 32750 Eagle River Road
Thursday, June 13, 6-7:30pm @ REI
Join me in the shiny new REI’s equally shiny, equally new “public outreach” room for the skinny on which Southcentral trails are really my favorites and what it was like to hike more than a hundred trails over two summers. You can get your books from me or from REI — and I’ll happily sign them all!
@ REI, 500 E. Northern Lights Blvd
