Author Emma Palova’s Shore to Shore summer book tour starts this weekend at the Lakeshore Art Festival in downtown Muskegon on June 27 & 28. See map below.

I successfully launched my new sequel The Quest for the Lost Town at the Third Coast Art Festival in Grand Haven on March 21. It was a well-attended event both by fans and fellow authors, followed by a hometown book signing event at the @Moravian Sons Distillery tasting room inside The Old Theater in downtown Lowell.
