Last weekend was my very first book signing. I thought I would be nervous, but it was exciting to connect with readers. My favorite guest was a young girl who was about 8 or 9 years old. With eyes wide with wonder, she asked if I was the writer, then asked if I was famous. Not yet, but that didn't convince her, judging by the expression on her face when I caught her watching me. I wonder if she will grow up to be a writer someday.
Many thanks to my good friends Caroline and Lora for making this book signing a success! They are fantastic coordinators. Any organization would be lucky to have them on their board;)
They set a great mood with balloons....
and cake. It looks like a book!
I did a reading, and really wished I had a podium.
People did some reading of their own.
I had plenty of books to sign, with a cheat sheet of phrases I wrote down earlier in the week in case I got writer's block.
Did I mention the cake? It was the icing on a really great day! Look at me, having my cake and eating it too!
Congratulations, Jill! So excited for you that this went so well.
