My first booksigning & reading
Sorry I'm so late blogging today, but we had a signifiant computer problem for the first part of the day. It's all cleared up now -- I think.
Last night was my very first booksigning/reading/discussion. I was a little nervous about it since I'd never done one before, but I had a blast! It was so much fun. The event was at my local Barnes & Noble, and I was doing the event with another local fantasy author, James Maxey. See his name in the LINKS list to the right. His novel, Bitterwood, is fabulous -- go get it now!
I talked about MLTF and read a scene from Chapter 1, then James did the same with Bitterwood. Then came the questions from the audience. They really got into it and asked some great ones. James and I had fun playing off of each other's answers, the audience laughed, had a great time, and bought a lot of books. Success! James and I are thinking about taking our act on the road. ; )
A heartfelt thank you goes out to the fabulous folks at the Cary, NC, Barnes & Noble: Linda Maloof (their community events coordinator) who booked the event and made all the arrangements, and kudos to Buck and TJ who ran the event last night. You guys are awesome!
We'll definitely be doing another signing when our next books hit the shelves. Plenty of people took pics, but I don't have any of them quite yet. As soon as I get 'em, I'll post 'em.
Don't forget to send your questions for Mychael. He'll be answering them this Saturday.

Glad it went so well. I'd have been a nervous wreck. Did a certain co-blogger of mine make an appearance?
Yes, a certain co-blogger of yours was there. ; ) She introduced herself and I gave her a big hug. We're also trying to coordinate me going to the B&N in Raleigh to meet with her critique group. That'll be fun!
Oh great, glad she made it. :)
you were incredible! you looked right at home up there with James.
James and I had a great time! We're arranging other booksignings together. When I have the list, I'll post them.
