Leaves turn brilliant shades of red, orange, and yellow. We savor pumpkin spice lattes, caramel apples, and cider donuts. Giant skeletons tower on lawns, Halloween ornaments appear on porches, and it’s that time again!

Fall is in the air. Cooler weather and longer nights make it a great time for finding another good read to enjoy with your hot cocoa, herbal tea, or hot toddy!

You can find good reads at the upcoming Passaic County Book Festival on September 27, 2025.

You can also get a chance to chat with authors including me. Ted Delgrosso, short story author of science fiction, fantasy, and contemporary will be there. So will DW Hirsch, author of haiku poetry and a memoir book.

Young adult fiction authors, Michael Rizzo, Debbie Cocchio, and  I will be on a panel discussing “Magic, and the Unseen: The Allure of YA Paranormal Fantasy”.

The festival is being held at Weasel Park, Clifton, from 11 AM to 4 PM. Our panel will be in an authors’ panel tent.

There will be something for everyone at the festival!  Admission is free!

Don’t be shy! Please look for us and stop by!
