Book Signing Follow-up
Book signing follow-up. Boom & Bust.
The Bust first. Friday afternoon I drove down to Moscow, Idaho (home of the University of Idaho) to conduct a book signing @ Hastings Books, Music & Videos. As soon as I approached the main driveway, I knew there would be problems. Two words: under construction. The driveway was blocked, the parking lot filled with construction materials and two buildings adjacent to Hastings were a hive of building activity. As a result, traffic to the store near dead. The store manager apologized. "You have done so well for us in the past, I hope you will return next Spring when this is all cleaned up." I hope so, because this store has always been a good one for signings.
The Boom. The book signing on Saturday at Barnes & Noble, Spokane Valley, Washington (10 minutes from home) made up for the loss at Moscow. Traffic was heavy, met lots of interesting people, gave out lots of flyers and signed copies of all three of my novels for THE SIGN OF EAGLE TRILOGY. Once again, management wants me to return, sometime during the holiday season, I will probably lock in a date sometime this week.
I want to thank store manager, Leslie; weekend manager, Kasey and Assistant manager, Adam for all their assistance in making this a successful event.
Next weekend: 1. Hastings Books, Music & Videos, 2512 E. 29th Ave., Spokane, Washington, Friday, Sept. 18, 3/8 pm.
2. Barnes & Noble Booksellers, 1321 N. Columbia Center Blvd. Kennewick, Washington, Saturday, Sept. 19, 12/5 pm.
