Saddling up and hitting the trail...
Tucson Festival of Books
Tucson, Arizona
March 13-14, 2027
I've applied for a 3 hour spot in the Indie Pavilion at the Tucson Festival. If I don't get the nod, I'll find something to do there. I've been looking forward to checking out this big show for many years.
Tombstone Festival of Western Books
Tombstone, Arizona
March 12, 2027
I am confirmed to be at the Tombstone Festival in 2027. As the event draws closer, I'll share more information about it. It's a thrill to be a part of this great western book event and I'm proud to be on the schedule.
Reader Nation / Author Nation
Las Vegas, Nevada
November 14, 2026
I'll be signing copies of Rathuun: King of the Prairie, A Grave Every Mile, and First Drive. It's my third year signing at this event. If you're in the neighborhood, please stop by. In addition to signing books, I'll be passing out Dad's Root Beer Barrels.
Last year, this event was held at the Paris Las Vegas event center. My gaudy display clashed with the Paris themed décor. My books are bound to be more at home in the Horseshoe Casino.
James Ersfeld Symposium
Buffalo Bill Center of the West
Cody, Wyoming
September 11-12, 2026
This two-day gathering features sessions on Buffalo Bill Cody and the Bison in American History. I'm excited to attend this event, learn a lot, and take loads of pictures. While in Cody, I always stay at the historic Irma Hotel. This visit, I'm also planning to visit McCullough Peaks and search for wild horses.
Western Writers of America
St. Louis, Missouri
June 17-20, 2026
I'm looking forward to attending this year's WWA gathering. I've been a member for several years, but this is the first time I've been able to attend their flagship conference.

I always enjoy attending this conference, featuring master classes, keynote speakers, inspirational authors, and a smashing banquet with book awards for every genre. The Chanticleer staff puts on a fantastic show every April. This year, they asked me to give a couple of presentations at their conference.
