So last week I got to experience the amazing high of signing my book for complete strangers. Yeah, they were only ARCs but I’m still counting it as legit. Of course it wasn’t all rainbows and lollipops. When the first person approached me and asked for a signature I just sort of stared back at them. My gut reaction was to say, “Why?”, but I kept my cool. Sort of. I first tried to sign the cover. Black Sharpie signing a mostly black cover, yeah, that woulda shown up... Special thanks to my publicists for stepping in and guiding me away from such a rookie move. It all went smoothly after that, unless you count that one time I forgot my own signature and just scribbled nonsense. If this was you, please accept this formal apology. Come find me and I’ll redo it, proper style. Anyway, not sure how long this post can or should be so I’ll end it here.
More to come.
