Fireside Book Signing

I have to be honest, I was quite nervous heading into my signing today at Fireside Books and Gifts in West Bend. Being a new author with a book that's only been out two months, it was hard to guess what kind of crowd I was going to have.

While it took a little while, I did have two people that saw the story in the paper regarding the book signing and came into the store specifically looking for me and my novel. That was refreshing.

In all, six books were sold. It wasn't my goal, but I have to try and see the positive. I sold six, rather than zero.

This is going to be a long process to one day fulfill my dream of being a best-selling author. Stephen King, John Grisham and etc. had to start at the bottom, too. I believe my talent is engaging enough, just trying to convince people of that is and will be hard to do.

So for those who have purchased my novel, by whichever means you have, I sincerely thank you for your support.

Fireside Books now has a good collection of my novel - 3 hard covers and 9 paperbacks. However, all of them are signed. So if you haven't yet, please stop by and pick up a copy. And again, I sincerely thank you for your support. To hear people and see people want my book is so flattering. I hope it continues.

My next signing will be Saturday, May 12, at the Kewaskum Arts & Crafts Fair in Kewaskum, WI. The show will be held in the parking lot between the middle and high school. The show begins at 10 a.m.

Soon afterward, I will do a reading/discussion/signing at the Jack Russell Memorial Library in Hartford, WI. That'll be from 7-8 p.m. Wednesday, May 16.
