If you’re in the area, please join the annual Rockdale, TX, town-wide Sip and Shop event, held on Thursday evenings from 5:00-8:00 every Thursday from November 16-December 21 (Thanksgiving Day excluded). Kick things off on November 16 with the Rockdale tree lighting, and visit participating local businesses as they host open houses, sales, and other special events. Visit all eight participating businesses and you can enter your name for a prize! I will be at Main Street Bookshop, located at 202 W Cameron Ave, with copies of my Christmas book. My daughter Miriam will also be there to sell and sign copies of her own book, The Time Traveling Team! Join us for this fun event, and browse through the bookshop, which offers new and used books, to get a start on your Christmas shopping while you’re there!

Two days later, come on down to Bastrop, TX, for the annual two-day Christmas sale at Living Room Christian Books and Gifts, located at 301 Highway 71 W, Suite 100. I’ll be there on Saturday, November 18, to sign copies of N is for Nativity, one of the featured books in their Christmas catalog. Stop by to visit with me, and get some Christmas shopping done while you’re there!
