October is right around the corner, and so is one of my favorite book festival events! I’m thrilled to announce that on Saturday, October 4, 2025, I’ll be joining the Delaware Valley Chapter of Sisters in Crime at the 23rd Annual Collingswood Book Festival in downtown Collingswood, NJ.

This vibrant, six-block celebration of books, authors, and readers promises something for everyone. From thrilling true crime reads (my personal favorite, of course!) to poetry, children’s activities in Loompaland, and even used book sales, it’s a bibliophile’s dream come true.

Here’s why you need to stop by our booth:

Meet me and other Sisters in Crime authors who are ready to chat about all things mystery, thriller, and true crime.Snag a signed copy of your next can’t-put-down read.Soak in the energy of a community built around the love of storytelling.

And don’t forget to check out the poetry readings, author talks, and book signings happening throughout the day. Whether you’re a fan of middle-grade fiction, YA, or gripping adult novels, there’s a little bit of magic for everyone.
