Hopefully folks in Mount Dora and Central Florida can stop by and see me! I love hearing from readers!

I will be signing my latest release, Book III of The Empyrical Tales: The Secret Queen, and I will have a few surprises.

First stop, Barrel of Books and Games in downtown Mount Dora. Today (June 2) from 4pm to 6pm, come check out this amazing store. They have a huge selection of new and used books. Plus, their collectibles are amazing. They have everything from Angry Birds to Big Bang Theory Bobbleheads to Star Wars. AT 144 W 5th Ave in Downtown Mt. Dora about 45 minutes from Orlando.

On June 9th, I will be at HighFive Frozen Yogurt in the Loch Leven Landing shopping center. This one is for a good cause. Both the author and HighFive will be donating a portion of the proceeds to our local elementary school PTO. I will be there from 1pm to 4pm. I want to see somebody come challenge the HighFive Titan! The store is at 18977 US Hwy 441, in between Five Guys Burgers and Publix.

This is only the first wave. I am working on events with some author friends and at least one of the public libraries. If you can't make it in person, I recently updated my website where you can order autographed copies at a new, special price - www.MillerWords.com

For all you Kindle readers, I have the privilege of being one of the first to use Kindlegraph Live! Kindlegraph.com is a site where authors can personalize autographs for their digital readers. With KG Live, when you see me at an event, you can buy one of my eBooks on your eReader or smart phone. Then I can send you an autograph. All you need is an email address, and it doesn't even have to be a Kindle address.

Keep following my blog or follow on Facebook.com/EmpyricalTales to stay informed of the latest appearances.

I remember Highlights Magazine from when I was a kid. So I was absolutely thrilled when I was contacted last year to illustrate for Highlights High Five Magazine. But then this past week, I received a package in the mail that I had won a Highlights High Five Pewter Plate award for best bonus page illustration! Not only that, I actually got the pewter plate! How cool is that?! I have won prizes before and have gotten paper certificates, t-shirts etc. But I think this is the first trophy sort of a thing I've every received in my entire life. It's got my name engraved on it and everything. I quickly hung it on the wall. I was afraid someone might use it for their peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Thank you so much High Five!! Above are some pages from the winning project. It was a tear out page that could be cut and stapled together make a mini book entitled "My First Backpack"
