Not gonna lie, this is dangerous territory for us. My subconscious is a tripping hazard.

Hello, my fellow human beings! Well, except you. You know who you are - over there in the corner.... my bestie.

SO! Over the weekend, I have the great pleasure of meeting so many amazing people - some of which, I now have the pleasure to call friends.

(No, I won't call them out right now - Blame the corgi.)

I had a great time at The Viridian Bookshop in Willoughby, Ohio. It was a fantastic event that had a great turnout. I even told the fine folks at the bookshop that I would love to do more events there - maybe even some private book signing events. We will see what comes of it.

If you're ever in Northeast Ohio, go check out The Viridian Bookshop (https://viridianbookshop.com/).

Ok, so, here's just some of the people I met at the event this weekend:

And, not only did I get to meet some awesome people, got to pet some fuzzy puppies, as well - including the corgi that some of us had to blame for our behavior (lol).

Lastly, I had a much cooler setup this time around. As you can see, I now have a professional looking table runner with the Fiction Ignition logo...... speaking of Fiction Ignition, if you haven't checked it out, please go here (markbogner.com/fiction-ignition/) and do so. It's free to use.

If you're an author, and you're stuck for an idea on what to write, Fiction Ignition is the tool for you. Whether you are looking for your next big novel idea, or you are writing for a short story contest, or even NaNoWriMo in November. Go check out Fiction Ignition on my website: markbogner.com/fiction-ignition

Pick a Genre, Click 'Inspire Me', and let my brain instantly come up with a prompt for you to write about. It's that easy!

Ok, enough about all that. I want you to be on the look out for future events that are happening. You can check out upcoming events on my site and maybe pop on into one of them and say hi - Like, perhaps, Akron Authors Con (https://akronauthorscon.com/). It's being put on by myself and two other local Ohio authors.  Come check it out.

Welp. That's it for me, this week. Be sure to tune in Friday morning for another installment of my latest short story, 'Raven Morana and The Black Wake'.

Until next time, my friends, keep calm and keep reading!
