BOOK SIGNING FOLLOW-UP. THE STORE MISPLACED COPIES OF MY BOOK THEY HAD ORDERED. This is how I started out my book signing of THE SIGN OF THE EAGLE @ Hastings Books, Music & Videos, Spokane Valley, Washington, yesterday, Sat. Nov. 16th. Fortunately, never trusting that any store will have my books in stock, I brought 20 copies with me and nearly sold them all. If that was not enough, their restrooms were out of order most of the day, and I had to use the facilities at the hardware store next door when necessary. All wasn't lost as I still did well and met lots of good people in the process. I had already signed at this store twice, so I was surprised I sold so many books. It helped that I was a local author (live here in the Valley) and that was enough for several folks to buy my book. The coming of Christmas helped as three people bought copies as gifts.
Regardless of the mishaps, I want to Book manager, Mary, and associate, Omar, for their assistance and support. As one associate said, I did an "awesome" job selling so many books.
Next Saturday is my final signing of the year. I will be at Barnes & Noble Booksellers, Spokane Valley, Washington for an encore. Details to follow later.
