Hello everyone! Yesterday I woke up to another day of gray skies. I’ve never seen so many blah winter days. However, this was a happy day for me. My first book signing was here. Well, after it was rescheduled from last week due to none other than a blizzard. Didn’t sleep well. You know…worry, worry, worry. Do I have enough books? Too many? What if no one comes? On and on. I did get up early and go to a card making class I had signed up for a month ago. It was therapeutic to take my mind off all my earlier doubts. As it neared 3 p.m., my sister (my go-to girl) arrived and I wasn’t ready. It started at 4p.m. Finally, we got off, got to the library and my heart leapt as I walked in and saw the beautiful table arrangement set up in the middle of the room. My sister had sent a colorful flower arrangement along with a bright, silver tray filled with two champagne glasses (filled with ginger ale) and chocolates on a lacy, red paper heart. It was beautiful. Gorgeous. The girls at the library are amazing as is my family. They showed up in droves, wonderfully sat there and visited. So many friends and family wishing me well, supporting me. It really touched my heart. I even got to see the newest member of the family, my 10 day old great-great niece Marleigh Jo. She is so beautiful. Anyway, I was very pleased with the turnout. We counted around 36 people who came and we sold 35 books, not including the ones I’d sold earlier in the week. I had 8 books left. I also donated a signed copy to the library. Gloria and the girls have been fabulous and have been as excited about this book release a I was. Anyway, I wanted to share in the excitement of my day, which, even after all the sleepless night and worry, turned out so much better than I ever expected. Someone upstairs is definitely looking out for me and to Him, thank you.
It was so exciting to walk into the library and see none other than our girl from Superior sitting at that beautiful table looking just I’d always imagined an author should look like.
Amazing. That’s the only word that comes to my mind. Just wanted you to know how really proud I am of you. It was well worth the wait for “Dangerous Magic”.
Can’t wait for your next book!
Thank you
Carol,
You are so nice for saying that. I really felt the support of family and friends that night. So glad you could come and be a part of something that is definitely a highlight in my life. Thanks for sharing.
Devan,
Im so sorry I missed your big day, I even wrote it down as the snow had changed your plans. Early the next morning, my lightbulb went off, and my regrets started to flow. Do you still have copies, I would like to purchase one, and if the kindness of your heart would prevail,,, maybe get it signed?
Hugs and congratulations from your home town friends!

Thanks for the congrats, Beth. Sorry you couldn’t be there for the booksigning, but I’ll be sure to get you a copy! I was so impressed with the support I had from the community, my family and my friends. It is amazing what small towns can do! Talk to you soon.
Aw, that sounds so nice – congratulations!
