My first ever BOOK SIGNING

3/14/2015

To other writers, those more experienced in this sort of thing, a book signing might seem fairly run-of-the-mill. To me it was an EVENT! The first time ever. Because I have not thought to have my books printed before, I have missed out on local sales. But FOR THE KING is of local interest, as well as for wider audiences, so I decided to go for it. It's certainly been a learning curve!


Armed with boxes of books and a pen I set off with faithful hubby in tow this morning to the Hunstanton Tourist Information Centre who had organised the event. Power to their elbow! When I arrived, the table was nicely set out, with a cloth, and a copy of my book on a stand with a label: 'Book of the Month!', and a rolling flashing sign advertising: 'Book Signing 11.00 - 1.' Big thanks to Angie and her team for organising it all. All I had to do was turn up!


So we sat and we waited, being a bit early, and believe it or not, people came in to buy. And not just FOR THE KING which is the book the Tourist Info are selling (because it is local history) but one lady took all three of my books! 


The editor of the local free paper also came in and took photos, and some info, and there will be another article in the Hunstanton Town and Around paper next month. Result!


As if that was not enough, I switched on the computer this afternoon, and discovered a beautiful new five-star review for FOR THE KING. 


Happy day!
