You know it's been a busy week when a friend leaves a message on your phone congratulating you on the launch day for your book -- and I had forgotten all about it! I was busy working in the garden all day yesterday and I never even got on the computer and never realized that it was the official release day of my book!
So now the book is available everywhere, including Walmart, Costco, and bookstores in the West and Amazon. And I've added several stops on my book tour, with more to be announced soon. I had a great time at the LDS Booksellers Convention this past week, first speaking to buyers from all over the world at my publisher's convention dinner, and then again at the Meet-and-Mingle two days later. TERRIFYING to have to talk to so many buyers and answer questions and see how competitive the world of bookselling is. I tried to charm them all. My publisher tells me that we were a success, with lots of orders for my book!
So, run and don't walk and get a copy of my book! If you want a signed copy, leave a comment with your email address. $17 plus $3 shipping. :)
Now, you may be asking, what the heck does the photo have to do with all this? Nothing. It is a photo of our yard, and I liked it. So!

Congratulations again! Our contest over at Challenging the Gnome for a signed copy of your book is now over, and the winner was really excited. In the process, we collected 14 new names for your chickens: Bob, bttr nt sqsh, Flutterbudget, Clucky, Linda, Bach, Beethoven, Figgy, Sundevil Arizona, Hope, Penny, Little, Snowdrop, and Sue. With the 4 that Russo and I named when we were at your house, that's only 11 more chickens that need names! You're welcome.
ReplyDeleteI should add that all of these names are all courtesy of our Challenging the Gnome readers :-)
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! Congratulations! I'll bet that convention was a blast, and that you did great. :) Thanks again for taking the time for our interview. We had a great time.

Dang, I wish I could be at your book tour. I am out of town helping my cousin settle into college. Just wanted to wish you well while you conquer the world.
ReplyDeletePS Since I couldn't be at your signing i convinced my aunt and cousin to buy your book at the midvale desert book. (Yeah, it didn't take much convincing) The minute they saw your book they went for it.
