I’m officially on book tour during the upcoming months. Whether you live in the DC area or elsewhere in the U.S. or world, I have just the event for you!
You’ll enjoy attending my author events because I’ve prepared presentations that will entertain you with personal anecdotes, comedic interludes, and sonnet readings. Plus, you’ll get to be a voyeur into my love life. (And let’s be honest—who doesn’t have a secret passion for spying on other people’s lives?)
Events for Those Not in the DC Area:
Book Launch on Zoom
Liza Achilles, Author of Two Novembers, in Conversation With Mary Dempsey
Sunday, June 30, 2024

More Events in U.S. Cities Coming Soon
Author events in various U.S. cities are in the works. Ann Arbor and Seattle are very likely this year. Southern California is a definite possibility for next year.
I’m also looking into visiting other cities where I have family or friends. Do you know of an opportunity in your city for a debut author and confessional poet? Drop me a line. I want to know about it!
