Meet & Greet at Grumpy’s in Gravette – A Treat!
Yesterday, I enjoyed the morning at Grumpy’s Peace, Love, & Coffee in Gravette, AR. If you have never visited Grumpy’s, I highly recommend you make the trip. A visit to Grumpy’s is a walk back into the 50’s and 60’s with posters and photos covering the walls (and ceiling) to reflect the popular music and movies of the time. The TV on the wall regularly plays reruns of “Leave it to Beaver” and other shows from that era. Add to that the great coffee and snacks!! And meet Larry Jones, the owner, who is usually relaxing in his recliner.
(Dr. Nancy Jones and Larry Jones, owner of Grumpy’s with me at meet & greet 12/16/23)
A visit to Grumpy’s is a treat for sight and soul. And Grumpy’s has appeared in scenes in my last two books, Dark Deceptions and The Spirit Tree Deceptions. It’s one of those things that I always say, “You just can’t make this stuff up!”
Thank you Grumpy’s for allowing me to visit with you and your customers and share my books with your customers.
We made the new in Bella Vista!
We just got our copy of the Weekly Vista. I’m a bit overwhelmed by making front page. One correction – I notified Rachel Dickerson about the error:
The Spirit Tree is in Grand Portage, Minnesota, not Grand Rapids, Michigan. And my upcoming signings next week are in Minnesota. 
Just to keep the records straight!

Minnesota Meet & Greet & Signing Scheduled
Hey Minnesota folks…Just a HEADS UP:
I have just scheduled a location to do a meet & greet for a book signing of my newest novel, The Spirit Tree Deceptions, and having time to visit, too. This will be my only public signing this trip.
We will meet up at Davanni’s in Coon Rapids between 1-3 p.m. on Saturday the 23rd. Address is: 3430 129th Ave. NW, Coon Rapids, MN.
I have reserved the community room and you can order what you wish and visit a bit. (Their hot hoagies are our favorite, but pizza and calzones are also great!)
Just give me a heads up if you’ll be there. Looking forward to having time to visit and share my book!
You’re certainly welcome to join us even if you don’t want a book! It’ll be a Christmas treat to see everyone.
