Hey, Laura. Congrats on a successful book signing. You came up with a creative idea that fit your book. My first book is still in e-format, but expect to try a book signing this spring. Once I have print book, the town newspaper will do review it and do an article, so I'll try to tie it to that. Happy for your success. Love the blurb on this second book. Continued success!

In reply to Joel D Canfield. Yeah, Joel, you're smarter than I...it was just such a great venue, I couldn't pass it up!

Hey jenny, I just sent the handout on public readings to a gal who wrote me direct. Here's my email address, elfahearn@hotmail.com
I'll be sure to respond. BTW, I was a professional actress for about 20 years, so I know these methods work.

Laura, I was worried for a while about your repeated references to Pabst Blue Ribbon. It's not bad, but it's not great, either.

Then, something about professional bull riding made me think you weren't talking about beer at all . . .

I'm gonna do book signings here in our tiny town for each of my books from now on. I owe it to myself to become known as the local author celebrity.

Just not for 5 8-hour days.

In reply to Jenny Hansen. I was so sad you were home feeling terrible with that migraine instead of hanging out with us! Laura and I have tickets to a PBR event in January, but I'm certain that I'll be coming to at least one OCC-RWA meeting this coming year. Can't wait to meet you!

In reply to joybelle2012Joy Bassetti Kruger. Joy, I'm glad to hear that you can get ebooks there. I don't get why it's so tough - I've heard Australia is one country where it's tough to get ebooks. Which makes me think that it's political - surely the technology can't be the problem!

In reply to littlemissw. I'm with you! If John Freaking Grisham came to a bookstore within a hundred miles of me, I'd be one of the five! Alas, things change.

In reply to Laura Drake. Melissa's coming here in January?! I missed her when she was at OCC from that stupid migraine. I'll stop by!

In reply to Laura Drake. I can't believe after all our talk of QR codes, you don't have one on any of your swag! What about your cards? You could have it on the back. :-)
