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!

The Stone and Modern Science (Continuation of the Philosopher's Stone)

Though the notion of a simple philosopher's stone of the alchemic sense fell out of scientific conception by at least the 19th century, its metaphors and imagery persisted: man's attempt to discover the essential secret of the universe, redemptively transforming not just lead into gold, but death into life. In 1901, Ernest Rutherford and Frederick Soddy discovered that radioactivity was a sign of fundamental changes within elements, and it was Soddy who quickly made the connection between this and the ancient search for the philosopher's stone (Soddy had studied alchemy extensively as a hobby). At the moment of realization that their radioactive thorium was converting itself into radium, bit by bit, Soddy later recalled that he shouted out: "Rutherford, this is transmutation!" Rutherford snapped back, "For Christ's sake, Soddy, don't call it transmutation. They'll have our heads off as alchemists." However the term stuck, in part because it...
