My New Website!

Marketing is a challenge for many writers, me included. Let's face it. We'd rather be creating
than thinking about the business end of things.

But tidying up the business end of things is one of my goals for 2026. I've already started a newsletter that has been gaining readers with every book signing that I have. I am trying to keep it short and sweet, but I enjoy letting my readers know background about me, my publishing team, and my stories.

I've ordered business cards, which should be arriving any day.

Now, I'm proud to say, my website has launched! There are four pages: the home page, a page about me with only slightly embarrassing photos, a page revealing the background to each of my books, and then an interactive page. The last, titled "Curious Minds Want to Know More," is the one that, to me, is really exciting. Here's how it works:

Say you read Relic. You can go to the Relic page and there you will find interactive links to topics relevant to the story. You can learn more about depression glass, the little village that was the inspiration for the story, the suffragette movement, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. 

There are interactive links for literature extensions for each of my books. I hope you have a fun time exploring. Go to https://sites.google.com/view/robertaworthington to check it out!

Dollars for Scholars

I am excited to see my next signing appearance on the horizon. It's been a long, cold winter and the Dollars for Scholars March Craft Show is a sure sign of spring!

The event will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. March 14 at Sweet Home High School in Amherst, NY. It is one of my favorite events because my table fee goes toward college scholarships for graduating seniors. I sell books. Kids get college funding help. It's a true win-win!

There is usually a wide assortment of crafts, local authors, a baked sale, a basket raffle, and even donuts and coffee!

The Sweet Home Chapter of Dollars for Scholars has awarded more than $300,000 in scholarships since 1990. Many of the scholarship funds have been eligible for matching grants.

Maybe I'll see you there!
