I’m so happy to announce that about 2/3rds of us will be able to meet (and meet you, should you be able to come) at Wild Deadwood Reads this summer!
This will be my fourth Wild Deadwood Reads and it’s quite the event. If you come early, it falls during Wild Bill Days, giving you and whomever else you might want to travel with, plenty to do. There are shops, shows, actors in the streets who recreate the arrest of the man who killed Wild Bill, concerts, AND a huge author event held at The Lodge up on the hill.
Here are the authors able to attend:
From top to bottom, left to right: Karen Witemeyer, Pam Crooks, Linda Broday, Julie Benson, Shanna Hatfield, Winnie Griggs, Jessie Gussman, Kari Trumbo, Mary Connealy, and Kit Morgan
I’m SO excited about meeting these ladies, most of whom I’ve never met in real life. We are hoping to get some great writing time in together, maybe see some wonderful historic sites, and fellowship together. I wish all of us could be there.
If you are interested in making this a vacation so you can meet us, you can find out more information at: https://wilddeadwoodreads.com/
We will have a few tables there FULL of great books and swag (things to give away).
The date of the main reader event is June 17th, 2023 and entry is free for readers. In fact, there are many free events most of that week and into the weekend. It truly is an event where anyone can find something fun and interesting to do.
We hope to see you there!
Where western meets happily ever after.
Kari writes swoony heroes and places that become characters with detail and heart.
Her favorite place to write about is the place her heart lives, (even if she doesn't) South Dakota.
Kari loves reading, listening to contemporary Christian music, singing when no one's listening, and curling up near the wood stove when winter hits. She makes her home in central Minnesota, land of frigid toes and mosquitoes the size of compact cars, with her husband of over twenty years. They have two daughters, two sons, one cat, and one hungry wood stove.
Sounds like you’ll have a lot of fun.
It really is a great event with a very eclectic bunch of authors and readers.
i would love to join you. It sounds like a great vacation.
I hope you’re able to. That’s why we wanted to give lots of time to for people to plan.
Sounds like a lot of fun.
I love Deadwood, but the Hills are kind of my home away from home.
This sounds so exciting!!
I can’t tell you how excited I am. I haven’t been this excited since going to the Hills for the first time.
I am booked at the Deadwood Lodge, so my husband and I are coming all the way from North Carolina. I’m so excited!
Janice!!! How wonderful! So glad you’re coming, too!
Yay!! Can’t wait to meet you!
Kari, so fun that you made this big announcement for us. Meeting my sister fillies in Deadwood will fulfill a dream I’ve had for years. Yee-Haw!!!
Me too! I offered because SD is my jam. It’s practically my second home and I just love it. This gives me reason to love it even more!
This sounds like so much fun! June 17th is the day! My heart is overflowing! If ever I’m going to meet you all – this is it! Giddy-up! I’m going to try and come. Hope you all accept hugs!
Yay!! I sure hope you can!
Kathy, It would be great to meet you face to face!
I feel the same way !
What a great announcement! Im so excited for this!
I am too! I just can’t wait.
sounds like a lot of fun. hope you all have a fabulous time
Thank you so much
Sounds like a lot of fun!!
It should be. We’re all very excited.
Thank you so much for sharing. It sounds like a lot of fun. I am not able to travel due to being disabled. God bless you. Happy New Year.
I’ve very sorry to hear that. We’ll be sure to post pictures and stories about what happened for those who can’t attend.
Thanks for the new link. We are just starting to plan our summer. This is earlier than we usually travel, but the area fits nicely with other plans we have. We did go to area many years ago and still have things we would like to see. I hope to see you all there.
I hope so! I think you could go to the Black Hills every year and still find new things to see. It really is rich with things to do.
