Finished my book signings for the year with a great 3 day signing event at Market Mall. I set a target of 50 books total for the three days and that was a stretch as my tri books require just the right type of person to walk by my table. A novel for instance, would appeal to a much more diverse dynamic.
It was really pretty funny. I was at 48 books with 15 minutes to go on my last day and began to pack up because another author was scheduled to show up and take over the table. Patsy the manager said, "well you might as well keep going until he shows up". At five to three(my end time)I sold book 49 with no other author in sight.
"You might as well stay for a while longer" she said and at 3:10 I sold book #50.
I had made an appointment for 4p.m. expecting the other scheduled author to be there on time, but when I left at about 3:20 he was nowhere to be found. Too bad I had made that appointment. No telling how many more books I could have sold if I had stuck around.
My newest book "TRIATHLETE IN TRANISION" has done very well and is being well-received. At the same time people are still buying Ironstruck. My Ironstruck books have begun selling by word of mouth now that I have a few thousand copies out there.
