Oh, For Cryin' Out Loud

If you've followed my posts, you remember that in February I had a signing at a small bookstore in a small town, and it was a very cold Saturday. We've had a relatively balmy winter this year. I think not many people wanted to venture from the warmth and comfort of their nests. I only sold seven books, and three of those were to the store.

Yesterday was my second signing. The first full day of spring, and we here in southwest Ohio got the third or fourth measurable snow storm of the season. Only two people showed, and they were members of my writer's group. It was super nice of them to come out in the storm to support me, but I likely would have sold to them eventually.

On a more positive note, the bookstore manager at the U. of Cincinnati called me interested in setting up some kind of presentation at the medical college there. I gave her the name of someone in the medical school whom I'd already talked to about that. We'll see what happens. Other signings are in the works. I hope they turn out better--or rather, I hope the turnout's better.
