So last night was my first release day signing. First midweek signing. I was nervous as hell. However, it went pretty well. Sold several books and most of them were to readers who hadn’t read me before, so that’s a good thing….assuming they like me… O_O

Two of the people I met were actually booksellers from a small, local town which is pretty cool. So… also made contacts. Double good. We got to talking and I said something about being in a fishbowl.

They laughed and I joked about getting a sigh that would read:  Talk to the author in the fishbowl…she’s lonely.

A lot of the time, writers hear about how a lot of people don’t always buy at a signing, but then they go back and pick up the signed stock the next day. O_O Why??? Stop…talk to us while we are there…pretty please? We get really lonely sitting in that fishbowl.

Really lonely. And we (or at least I do) feel really silly sitting there with nobody to talk to and all those shiny books in front of us. We’re there to talk to readers, after all.
