Book signings and appearances
November 4, 2024
Had a wonderful time at the Kentucky Book Festival at Joseph-Beth Booksellers, Lexington, Kentucky for the second straight year. I especially enjoyed my participation in the "Hoofbeats and Heartbeats" panel with Jessica Whitehead, the Kentucky Derby Museum's Curator of Collections, and Roda Ferraro, Director of the Keeneland Library. It was a marvelous privilege to be included with two such knowledgeable custodians of the Thoroughbred's heritage! My thanks to Kentucky Humanities and Joseph-Beth Booksellers for making it all happen.
