Well, that was fun

I sold a grand total of three books, one each DRAGON'S EYE and the mass-market SUMMER COUNTRY and WINTER OAK. Don't try to calculate the hourly pay rate.

As far as I can tell, Borders didn't make any announcement of the "event" at all, except in-store PA. Nothing in the newspapers, either ad or event columns.

Last time. No more.

Ya know, when Ted Nugent's wife was signing a book, the bookstore advertised everywhere. Ok, mostly because Ted was going to be with her.
You think Ted Nugent would sit with you for your next book signing if you asked him real nice?
LOL LOL LOL LOL

You got a phone number or address?

So, how'd the reading go?

Or is that not a good question?

The reading went fine. Since nobody showed up and sat down in the ring of chairs Borders set up, I didn't have to read.

I thought the signing was to be at 1700.

Perhaps you would sell more in Boston or Nashua... *innocently bats eyelashes*

2:00 PM -- which my military memory transliterates to 1400 hours.

If I do anything in NH, it would probably relate to Durham and UNH, as that is Younger Son turf.

They do the same thing to authors here, too, at the Barnes & Noble. It's embarrassing.

I did get out to buy Dragon's Eye, the first day it was available, here, and enjoyed it very much, both writing style and world building. I do hope there will be more.

Ace still plans to bring out DRAGON'S TEETH next year. Beyond that, all bets are off. If the Nice Agent Lady sells GHOST POINT elsewhere, I'm sure there will be a lag before it fits into the release schedule.

Oh, good! I'll have that to look forward to at minimum.

well, i just finished dragon's eye and it is a damned fine book. i love alice and kate and the little girls...you shouldn't let people call kate a big ox...

...not only did i get a copy, i ran into a friend at barnes and noble and he was so intrigued by the very pretty boy on the cover and by my recommendation that he bought a copy, too.

you did good.

Wonderful reading...

Have two Dragon's Eyes here.. Ordered one and they were kind enough to double the order. One will be dog eared and the other will be pristine. The book is wonderful! I haven't done a thing but read since it came. Good to know there is more of this in the works.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful imagination.
