Signings and Sales
I just returned from a book signing held at a small independent bookstore in my town. The author, Gregory Frost, has gotten a lot of good buzz on his two new books - "Shadowbridge" and "Lord Tophet". Though I'm not familiar with his work, I am a huge fan of fantasy and science fiction, so of course, I bought both of them.
While there, I spoke with the owner of the store and we discussed my own works and the possibility of a signing or putting my books there on their "local writer" shelf. I declined the honor. Why would I do such a thing? Reality.
I know the area where I live and know what sells well here and paranormal romance isn't it. Maybe when I have more books published, it will be a possibility, but not now. Not with only one in print and the others only available as ebooks.
So, in the meantime, I will promote my work online where my audience is and look forward to the day when I can sit in that honored spot and have strangers buy my book and ask for my autograph.
Ah, a girl can dream, can't she? :)
Have a great weekend everyone and may you have a wonderful coming week, no matter what holiday you celebrate.
