So as I’m sure you all know, I had my first book signing event at Bank Square Books in Mystic, CT last Saturday. Mystic is a fantastic town and I was thrilled my first signing was there and at a great indie store as well.
Admittedly, this photo is from last September when I was in Mystic on vacation, but I didn’t take nearly as many pictures on Saturday as I should have and this gives a good sense of what the town is like.
I brought along my trusty entourage of my brother (the muscle to carry all my materials) and my mom (moral support extraordinaire). I talked to lots of people (including catching up with my 2nd cousin once removed who lives in Mystic), gave out a bunch of bookmarks, and sold some books (some even to complete strangers!). All in all, I’d call it a successful event.
My display of books and bookmarks…lovely bookmark fan the creative work of my brother (now he can’t say I never give him credit for anything!).
A new reader and the baby bump making an appearance as well!
We even made it home in time to watch the UConn men’s basketball team win their Final Four game! I know it was a little far for my some of local friends to make it, and I’m hoping to book a signing a little closer to home, but baby time is fast approaching so we’ll have to see about that. And I’ve got to admit it kind of exhausted me a bit…took a nice long nap Sunday afternoon.
How was your weekend?
