It’s been busy around here with mailing out books to Influencers, designing and printing postcards and bookmarks, and a zillion other things on top of trying to restart my brain and get back into “Glory” mode. Sorry if it looked like I’d deserted you.
Let’s see . . . Oh, yes!
The Friday after my box of books arrived, they held an impromptu booksigning for me at my husband’s workplace. My daughter and granddaughter went along for added support – you know, to hold me up in case I started to faint or something.
The event lasted about an hour and a half and fifteen books were sold while I was there, another two after I left. I have to tell you that for someone with an extreme case of introvertedness (if it’s not a word, it should be!), it was more than a little scary – and draining – but fun and exciting, too. Isn’t it strange how so many emotions work together like that?
I’ve been getting a little feedback from the books sold at that signing as well as from ones sent to Influencers. I can’t tell you how gratifying it is to have someone I don’t know tell me how much they enjoyed my book! I'm sure the awe of it will never cease.
I've been going a little crazy trying to get things together and prepared for the ACFW Conference in Minneapolis. ACFW has partnered with Barnes and Noble and Mall of America for an incredible BOOKSIGNING EVENT. On Saturday, September 20, 2008, from 1-3 p.m., 126 Christian Novelists (including me!), will be together for a MEGA BOOKSIGNING AND AUTHOR PANELS in the Best Buy and Sears Rotunda and connecting hallways at the MALL OF AMERICA, BLOOMINGTON, MN. If you’re in the area, please be sure to stop by!
In the meantime, I’m doing blog interviews with various individuals – some of whom are giving away an autographed copy of THE CASE OF THE BOUNCING GRANDMA! So be sure to check out the blogs below . . .
