There is nothing like it. Baskets donated by the RWA chapters are part of a silent auction and if you're driving, you'll have the space to get them home. Great deals and all for literacy.

My niece lives an hour away and she loves romance books too. Your story about the lights was hysterical.

As far as eye catching gimicks go, those were probably the best ones I saw! I was at the book signing (as the general public) and I remember those flashing lights.

I am so LOL re your comment, Heather: "But a hint for when you do go to a signing–gushing is always appropriate!" That is SOOOO good to know! If and when we ever have someone come to our neck of the woods for a book signing, I'm sure I'll remember that (even though I forget what I made for supper last night). I'm still LOL. Thanks for the laughs! Hope you're having a great day too! Hello one more time!

And, gee, why didn't they buy your book? My friends/relatives used to buy from other authors who were signing. Jillian, you’re a sweetie! And, gee, why didn’t they buy your book?

I discovered how to edit and delete comments. Ellen, there are so many authors in Texas that readers become very ho-hum about signings.

She does our signings up big time. My favorite signing so far was this past June when I "forced" my extremely shy CP --who's first Harlequin American came out last month--to do one tiny little booksigning. My book was out in May so I told her I'd sign with her so she wouldn't be sitting there alone. For the whole 2 hours, a steady stream of her friends and relatives came in and bought out every last book the CRM had ordered. She could have sold 10 more. She even had a dear friend fly in from CA and surprise her to celebrate the release of her first book! I didn't sell one book. But I didn't care, it was so fun watching her shine.
