How can it be August already? That means summer is almost over. This has been a whirling, fast paced summer for me.
This weekend is the second wedding of the summer. Both were for grandchildren. I can’t be that old that I have grandchildren getting married, can I? This makes three married.
I’m looking forward to my upcoming book events. They are:
August 24th & 25th – Oregon State Fair, Salem, OR from 10 am-8 pm
September 6th – Quail Ridge Arts Festival, Baker City, OR 2-9 pm
November 8th & 9th – Bruneau Cowboy Christmas, Bruneau, ID 10 am- 5pm and 10 am – 4 pm
These are all new to me as venues to sell my books. Two of them are large and I purchased books in anticipation of selling a lot.

Next month I’ll have links to both the newest Gabriel Hawke book, Wolf Moon, and the new Merry Merry Merry Murder, Christmas mystery. The links will be for pre-orders. The Hawke book is being read by beta readers and the Christmas Mystery needs some tweaking done to it. But it will be out in October and Wolf Moon will be out the end of September.
Starting August 13th, you can get the first three audiobooks in a bundle from Chirp for $2.99. IF you are a Chirp listener, watch for the promo they send out in the middle of the month. If you aren’t a Chirp listener and would like to purchase the box set at this low price, you can find it here: https://www.chirpbooks.com/audiobooks/gabriel-hawke-box-set-1-3-by-paty-jager Just remember the low price doesn’t start until Aug, 13th. All the other audiobooks in the Hawke series will be priced lower at Chirp as well.
Because I am limited on time to write this and haven’t a whole lot to say, here are some photos.

This is my new folding bookcase, I will be using at the Cowboy Christmas in Bruneau, Idaho. I like how it displays the books in a more inviting way than the wooden racks I’ve been using.

These books are what I’ll have at the Oregon State Fair. I can get them all in two stands like on the right. When book bundles for the first 3 books in a series. I’m only allowed 4 ft of a table to set up on and told to bring as many titles as I could.
Enjoy the August weather and get out and enjoy the great outdoors. I hope to get more outdoor time here soon.
Good luck on your up coming shows!!! Wishing you a whole bunch of sales!!!
