Well, it’s been nearly a
week since I attended my very first book signing! I would have reported back
sooner, but to be honest, I’ve hardly had a chance to catch a breath since we
landed in New Hampshire and it has taken a few days for the fog to clear from
my head.
I have to say, the whole
event was far less nerve-wracking and a whole lot more fun than I had anticipated. I
arrived at 11:00 in the morning and hung around for 5 hours. The weather was
even so cooperative as to stay warm and hold off on rain or wind until we
packed up just after 4:00. Unfortunately, I have only one picture to show for
the occasion—it seems that both Todd and I ended up talking with people nearly
nonstop since we arrived and forgot all about pictures until family showed up!
And so, I present to you my daughter, her husband and our grandbabies! No time
(or presence of mind) to pose for that picture, but I do like how someone
holding the book showed up on the right hand side of the photo and I love the intent look on my granddaughter’s face as I interact with a new reader!
A bonus to doing a book
signing—one I had not anticipated—is receiving feedback from a reader—an older
gentleman—who took the time to look me up online and drop me an e-mail. He said
that he ‘had
finished the book and loved it! He said he doesn’t read romance novels very
often but he asked his wife to read it also so they can discuss it!’ It doesn’t
get much better than that for me!
