Mostly, I like being there as I love dirt track racing. The one that really struck me was when I was in Lavonia Speedway in Lavonia Georgia about a year ago after I completed the untitled story (that would be Ashley). Most of the ones who received my postcards also asked me to sign it for them and to my surprise the name Ashley kept popping up. I attended these events due to my love of flying and writing and I gave out postcards of my first four books to many people. The first three events happened in EAA Sunn Fun Aerospace Expo in Lakeland Florida, Fantasy of Flight in Auburndale Florida, and National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough Tennessee several years ago.
