The Queen of Fairbanks is in demand! Thank you for all the kind words you’ve sent my way. I’m so touched by your stories. Look for me in the coming months as I’m traveling the state to present about Irene Sherman, meet readers, answer questions, and sign books, the newest one as well as the old favorites. For July, here’s my signing schedule:
Sat., July 13 – Title Wave Books, 1360 W. Northern Lights Blvd., Anchorage. I’ll be signing from noon to 3 p.m., but if you miss it, I’ll leave signed copies behind. Plus you can order from anywhere and have your book(s) mailed. Just call their toll-free number: 888-598-9283.
Thurs., July 18 – University of Alaska Museum of the North; I’ll be set up in the lobby and signing books from 10:30 a.m.-4 p.m. I’ll also have many of my children’s books along, if you want those signed and personalized. (Bring them from your home library, too–I’d be happy to sign them.)
Fri., July 19 – Pioneer Museum, inside Pioneer Park. Come over between 10 a.m. and 11:30! That’s also Campus Day during the UAF Nanook Rendezvous, so afterward I’ll be signing in the Usibelli Atrium on campus from 1 – 2:30 p.m. I’ll bring The Queen of the Fairbanks plus the children’s books and The Alaska Homesteader’s Handbook, another adult nonfiction favorite.
Sat., July 20 – The Big Day for Golden Days fans. Irene Sherman was a staple in the Golden Days Grande Parade. I’ll have my annual Tricia Brown Books booth set up in the Street Fair in Golden Heart Plaza along the Chena, along with many other businesses and organizations. Come and browse! I’m can usually be found alongside the Unknown First Family statue in the plaza. We’re there all day, so before or after the Rubber Duckie Race, come and find me!
Meantime, you can find The Queen of the Fairbanks at these locations (any of my other books can be found at your local bookstores or favorite online bookseller):
FAIRBANKS: Fairbanks Community/Dog-Mushing Museum, 2nd Avenue (upstairs in the Co-Op Plaza); Pioneer Museum, inside Pioneer Park; The Great Alaskan Bowl Company, 4630 Old Airport Rd.; with more to come! (I’ll be back in August to sign at Forget-Me-Not Books, benefitting the Alaska Literacy Council; also presenting at the Noel Wien Library from 1-2:30 p.m. on Aug. 17, so pencil me in!)
