Over the weekend I signed like 300+ free books for librarians. It was awesome! I love librarians!
If you’re wondering why I took the trip from San Antonio, it’s because of TLA. The Texas Librarians Association. I came down and hung out with my awesome friends from Moody Publishing. They hooked me up with two book signings, and I’ve never seen so many fun people excited about my novels!
My husband, John, came with me and he videotaped part of the signing. He also talked to people in the aisles about the novels. He was so great. The librarians loved him, too. How could they not?
Saturday night I also hung out with my husband, an awesome salesman from Moody, and one of my too-awesome marketing people. We ate dinner in a Mexican restraunt that was so loud we had to shout to talk. Then we walked along the Riverwalk and got caught in a rain/hail storm. By the time we got back to our motels we were totally soaked.
When it rains it pours! And I’m meaning the whole, wonderful day.
It sounds as though you had a lot of fun. I am sure it was wonderful knowing God has touched so many people with your writing. Take care of yourself.
Sounds to me that you had a blast!! Glad you enjoyed yourself.
Welcome to Texas! Hoping to meet you Thu night in Dallas at Prestonwood. Meanwhile, I’m holding a drawing in the morning for your parenting book over at my blog site. Send your friends. Sandi
Hey Tricia,
First your books are in my bookstore and I’d love to help you promote them. It’s the Garden of Readin’ in Missoula, however, I haven’t counted them. And, I’ll take a peek in the local Barnes and Noble. They were totally open to all the bookmarks I dropped off for other authors.
I was really glad to read this post because it was all about a big book signing.
I posted a list of book signing ideas on my blog today that I gleaned from tons of authors. I’d love your thoughts on how to have a successful book signing (if you have a spare moment) and value the people waiting in line too:-)
thanks,
Angie
What a great time with you and John in San Antonio!!! Thank you so much for coming with us to TLA. The librarians loved you and your work! Not surprising-a fabulous author like yourself!
I’ve got the manuscript of SHADOW of TREASON on my desk right now to take a peak at!!!
