First Book Signing!

Well, last Saturday was my book signing. It ended up being in two newspapers, the local and the Muncie Star Press. I imagine that audience for those two is around 40,000. I have a picture of the article here:

I notice that the article is next to a long ad for “memory loss”. Coincidence?

Hmm…

Anyway, it went well…more than well. I sold 28 books (I had 9 of one book). I put the others on order and they should be in tomorrow. I will sign them and label them and take them back to the library so the people can pick them up on Wednesday. All in all, I loved it! It was fun and enlightening.

I keep trying to figure how it would be to sit all day and sign at some trade fair or something. Not too bad. I took my Kindle and that takes care of boredom.

Namaste,

Scott

Wowzers! I’ve never gotten paid for anything I’ve written. But then I don’t have an agent and I don’t work hard at it either…at the moment. I know a gal who is a children’s book author and I don’t know if I could take the waiting for the illustrator the editing or even the part to promote oneself. Kudos!!!

  Well, being at home and not working, so I know where the basic money comes from helps. But yes, it can be frustrating.

    I’m sorry I’ve been so scarce, Scott. Since I came back from leave I seem to be so busy, but things seem to be levelling out now 🙂

    Well I’m truly happy for you. I sell my books locally along with the artist and we do okay but it’s part time so it’s kind of slow going. We do have all the art from the books (children’s book series) in a local gallery this summer so I’m very happy about that.
