Book signing fun!



Avoid  book signing with an ax murderer.

On Feb 28, 2012 - I had the great opportunity to meet Quinn Loftis, Jaz Primo and Janice Grove.  Quinn and I spent most of the afternoon together and then she admitted her husband was slightly worried that I could be an ax murderer.  I mean sure we've never really met in person...but we've talked on the phone, we've texted...and honestly I never put her in my possible 'ax murderer' online friends.  I've thought about the risks that we made... I mean, sure we don't have publicist that actually set things up and I could have lied about the situation with the bookstore.  I'm very happy I passed the test... it would have been hard to put that on my resume.  Just sayin'.  I won't mention that I went to her hotel room and changed clothes... not in front of her or anything, sheesh - give me credit.

What did I learn about the signing - well... if there is a fireplace, ask the store to turn it off HOURS prior to setting you directly in front of it....on a 75 degree day.  Make sure you have signs and set them up.  I saw Jaz brought some book stands.... good idea!  I'm buying some this weekend.  If you order a sign as large as mine, make sure you have a large car or truck.  It isn't fun worrying about being decapitated while driving down the road with a sign at the back of your neck.

It was incredibly fun seeing all of my family and friends that I haven't seen in years.  I hope they all had a chance to talk with the other authors (I come from a large family and I've been gone 9 years).  I hope everyone had fun.  

The Light Tamer is coming along well, but I think it will be delayed by two weeks.  I'm looking for TEN BETA readers between the ages of 12-18, hopefully female.  Email me if you're interested.  devyndawson@yahoo.com

  1. I'm sure it was a great book signing. I wished I lived closer because I would have loved to have met all of you in person.
