Book Signing Event in Ottawa Successful!

Best book signing ever!  Sold and signed 21 books and I beat the infamous author, Stephen King who did a book signing there and only sold 6!  I was thrilled!  Everyone who saw the event posted in the paper couldn't wait to get their copy.  Some came from an hour away to just get their copy, talk about die hard fans!  I couldn't have been more happier than I was today. I gave out posters and book markers and talked up a storm to those who came.  We talked how they got interested in Vampires and what got me started...just a breeze it was.  It was like I knew them and we just chatted away and the little ones that came in were so, so cute!  Oh my goodness I got a hug from a two year little boy, he was so sweet! We're in the planning of yet another event in September at the Book Mouse.  Things are certainly looking up!

Its like having a new car and finding a scratch on it and we think that little, tiny scratch is as big as the Grand Canyon and it is no longer "new".   I know, been there.  My novel, Birthright had one of those big scratches in it and I felt like a failure, but I got to thinking, everyone who has ever read my novel loved it.  Did they see the flaws? "No."  They only saw what they read and to them it was grand. " Can't wait for the sequel!" they said.  It's those wonderful readers that keep our worries at bay, keep us sane and realize that all is right with the world and that our scratch is just that a "scratch&
