I have a way with words. Love writing, acting, the little moments and the occasional karaoke throw down. Author of Legend Has It. www.djslaterauthor.com
If you're looking to find me at my next event, you won't have to wait long. Catch me and several other authors at the Book Gymboree in Pleasant Prairie, WI! @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky #authorsky
I recently discovered that I was nominated for Best New Voice in The Sacred Crypt Awards. It looks like the winners are selected through votes, so if you'd like to vouch for me: forms.gle/ShjexiaW7t3Z... No expectations. I'm just happy to be in good company. @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky
Be careful where you walk. #horrorsky #booksky @stephenking.bsky.social (if you see this, you’ll understand why I tagged you).
Happy to report that Legend Has It is back in stock at Novel Bay Booksellers Even though I’ve said it plenty of times, it’s so cool seeing my novel on a bookstore shelf. So grateful! ☺️ @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky
Love visiting Door County in the summer, and now I have another reason to love the popular peninsula! Come find me and my author peers at Martin Park in Sturgeon Bay, WI! @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky #authorsky
Want to know a secret? I don't always make my event graphics and official announcements public right away. I stagger them and quietly update the events page on my website. In other words, my website is worth checking out every so often. 😁 www.djslaterauthor.com @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky
Fun story: A co-worker told me his mother-in-law was out shopping at WikiWares in Greendale and came across a familiar book. When I asked why she picked it up, he told me she was just browsing and thought it looked good. She was not aware I was his son-in-law's co-worker. @rowanprosepub.bsky.social
Now there’s something you don’t see every #4thofjuly … Looks like a fun reminder that spooky season isn’t that far away!
One of the first events I booked after signing with @rowanprosepub.bsky.social was Books in Denver (back in 2024)! Crazy to think it's less than a month away. Definitely excited about this one. I have some fond memories in Denver. Looking forward to making some more! #booksky #readersky #authorsky
Next up on the calendar is the Door County Book & Author Fair. I love this part of the state and am looking forward to doing what I love in this space. If you're in the area, come check it out! @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky #authorsky #readersky
All set up at Hillside Coffee House! The coffee is stellar. The available books aren’t bad, either. 😁 @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky
When you visit Bay View Printing Co. and need an idea for a print job, you go with a familiar tagline. Such a fun experience! And I have some ideas for next time! 👀 @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky
The calendar is packed again. Not a bad problem to have. The full event list can be found on the website: djslaterauthor.com. @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky #authorsky #readersky
Mark your calendars...again! Hillside Coffee House has moved the Author Meet-and-Greet one day to Friday, June 26. I don't blame them. Fridays tend to be a little more fun anyway. Grab a coffee and a copy of Legend Has It. @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky
Sometimes you find the event. Sometimes the event finds you. Fortunate and thankful that The Plaza & Globe Coffee reached out to host me at a book signing event near the end of summer. And they're even making a specialty drink for the occasion. @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky
It might be redundant, but it’s worth repeating: seeing your novel in the open will never get old. Yep, still feels that way. @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky #authorsky
June isn't as busy as May, but that doesn't mean I'll be idle. You can catch me near the end of the month at Hillside Coffee, and not just for a latte. @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky #authorsky
Appleton is fun this time of year. Oh, and they have a great book fair going on today! Stop on by! Lots of authors here (including me!) 😁 @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky
Next up on the author circuit is Block of Books in Appleton! Come check out an event that will feature over 90 authors, including the one who wrote Legend Has It. 😁 @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky #authorsky #readersky
I'm grateful to be a part of not one, not two, but three author panels during the Mukwonago Book Festival on May 17. The topics and times for each panel are on this graphic. Can't wait for this one. It's going to be a great time! Hope to see you there! @rowanprosepub.bsky.social
I've got a busy weekend coming up! You can find me at Spooky Frog on Saturday and the Mukwonago Book Festival on Sunday. I'll have a booth at Spooky Frog and will be part of three author panels in Mukwonago. I hope you can check it out! @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky #authorsky #horrorsky
It seems May 4th can be a little unpredictable. #maythe4th #starwars #maythe4thbewithyou @markhamillofficial.bsky.social @starwarsunofficial.bsky.social
Hard to believe it is already halfway to Halloween! @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky #horrorsky
Hard to believe the May Book Tour starts this weekend. First stop is one of the locations in Legend Has It - Oshkosh, WI! Can't wait to meet some more readers! @lakeflywriters.bsky.social @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky
The calendar is updated. A calm April will give way to a busy May, with a fun stop in July. Getting excited! @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky #authorsky #readersky
Love knowing that Spooky Frog is right around the corner. Such an awesome event and worth checking out if you're a fan of #books and #horror! @rowanprosepub.bsky.social
I might not be enjoying the warm rays of the #springbreak crowd, but at least my book is! 🤣🤣 @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #reading #booksky #authorsky
