Well, the TPC3 have been busy busy busy… Summer is book fair/festival season, and since we are authors with books to promote, it is part of our job to attend as many of these bad boys as possible. After our successful trip to Houston for the National Black Book Festival, we were at it again a mere two weeks later, but this time a little closer to home. Event #2 would bring us to Los Angeles, CA for the Leimert Park Book Fair.
We’ve been to quite a few events over the past 16 months, and this one easily ranks right at the top of the list for us. First of all, it was a great venue — hosted outdoors with lots of food, music, and sunshine for everyone to partake in. It was FREE and open to the public, which is always good for us authors, because anyone can wander in off the street and buy our books, lol. There was also a diverse array of programming – from panels, to celebrity Q & A, to musical performances. They even had a special section just for the kids, where they were focusing on children’s books and activities, and anything that promotes youth literacy gets a big ole gold star in my book. All in all, we had a wonderful day slanging books, and look forward to making this an annual stop on TPC’s book tour itinerary.
As usual, we’ve got a little video to go along with our words, you know, for those of you that are living vicariously through our adventures! 
Hats off to Eric Beasley and the Leimert Park Book Fair organizers for a truly stellar event… see you next year!
