How to prepare for a bookstore author event

Today I’m going to share some of the ways I prepare for an author event. Specifically, a bookstore appearance where you read your work and participate in a discussion with the audience.

After the She’s Not Home launch event I got some feedback that I was really prepared and easy to work with. This isn’t the first time I’ve heard this after an appearance. I always find it a little baffling because…me? Really? I don’t consider myself particularly easy or comfortable in the spotlight.

Neverth...
