Book Signing at Aunties

I took a short nap this afternoon so I could stay awake while watching the Zags play the San Francisco Dons. So far it's been a very close game.

I had my book signing at Aunties Book Store last night. It was so exciting for me, about 50 friends and family came out to support me and purchase a book from the store. They had 25 books on hand and sold them all, so several people were disappointed because they were not able to purchase a book.

The lady from the book store introduced me, she was surprised that so many people showed up, this was the most they have had for a signing. I just feel so blessed to have so many wonderful friends. Of course my family was there to support me. My husband, George, Daughter Laura and her daughters, Parris and Amber. They baked and served cookies and had a big vat of lemon water. My son Robert and Kim, Grandson Danny and Lauren and my great-granddaughter, Sawyer.

I signed all the books, writing a little personal note to each person. It was great fun.

Is it 2011 already ?

Is it 2011 already? I can't believe it and I haven't blogged for a long time. Well here I am now.
I will be signing books at LinDaBee's Diner in Medical Lake tomorrow morning at 10:30 a.m. Of course I'll be eating some of their wonderful food off the menu. So I may ask you to wait until I finish my french dip sandwich or their delicious tomato soup. Of course I don't want my coffee to get cold so bear with me, no matter what we will have a great time.
On Friday, January 21st, between 7 and 9 p.m. I'll be at Aunties Book Store in Spokane. We will have refreshments in the autorium upstairs, there is an elevator to take you up there unless you want to walk the stairs.
I'm pretty excited about both of these signings. If you are a Red Hat lady and plan to come, I hope you will wear your Red Hat.

Book Release Party

Book Release Party! My first Book THE HAT PIN MURDERS will be introduced at AUNTIES BOOK STORE 402 W. Main Street, Spokane, on Friday, January 21, 2011. 7-9pm.
I hope a lot of people come. I've never done this before but I guess I'm supposed to read a little of the book and maybe tell how it came about. I hope people will ask questions and of course purchase the book and then I'll sign it.

Aunties has a big room upstairs that they allow people to use for such occasions. This is so they can sell more books. My daughter and granddaughters will be baking all kinds of goodies to entice people to come and eat and then buy the book. I hope to see you there, January 21st, 7 - 9 p.m. at Aunties Book Store.

Crazy, Crazy Excitement !

Crazy, crazy excitement! That's exactly how I'm feeling these days. I either gave away or sold the first 50 books and I picked up 40 more today. I'm waiting to hear what the reviewers are saying about the book. I hope its all good news.

I had lunch with three other ladies at Lindabee's restaurant in Medical Lake yesterday. When the waitress saw the books I was signing for the other gals she asked all about it then went to talk to the owner. He wants me to come there and do a book signing. I suggested we do it from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. during the lunch hour so people will eat lunch as well as purchase my book. He is so excited about it even wants to advertize it up on his big sign. But my official introduction will be sometime in January at Aunties Book store in Spokane.

Yes, it is crazy crazy excitement! Yeah!

Read my book.

Hello Bloggers,
Sorry I haven't blogged for a while. Getting a book published is quite exhausting. I purchased 40 books and the publisher gave me 10 free, of the pre-released books. I have 6 of the books left but promised some ladies on Thursday so looks like I'll have to order more before Chistmas.

Everyone seems so excited about the book and the ones that have read it are even more excited. I'm feeling good about the whole process.

Russ, my publisher says we will introduce the book in early February, then I will be doing some signings at local book stores. More on this later, until then Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.

Yes, it's been a while since I've blogged. I was given two copies of my book to read through and edit. I'm just thrilled with the cover I think it is beautiful and just what I wanted. I am hoping to get 50 copies before Christmas so I can give them out for Christmas gifts. There are several others that want to purchase them from me for their gifts. I'm so tired now, I can hardly make it through the day how can I expect to make it through a book signing.

THE HAT PIN MURDERS

Hello Bloggers, I agreed on a cover for my book and it is just beautiful. It is exactly what I want. I went to the publisher and picked up 2 copies of the book yesterday. I have to read through it for any mistakes or changes I want to make then that will be the last change that can happen. The publisher will send out advance copies to very special people hoping to get them to read the book and write something nice about it so their comment can be put inside the front cover. At that point in time which will be after the first of the year Russ, the publisher will put together a marketing plan and we will introduce the book and I'll do some book signings. The books will sell by the thousands and I'll get to go on Oprah!!! HaHa
