Juvenescence: First Signing

First Signing

I did it! First ever book signing at the Public Library Association annual conference! I was so nervous that no one would come by but we went through 100 ARCs in an hour.

Free books + librarians = true love.

Lisa Schroeder said...: Yay, and I was the first one!!! :) Lucky me!! Since mine were real books, people had to buy them (at a discount, but still), so we didn't do nearly as well as you did. It was still fun, though!; March 30, 2010 at 7:56 AM

Cheers,

p.s. I've been trying to find an email address for you, but... I have failed. Probably just me being blinded by revisions. Heh. But if you have a moment could you drop me a line? I wanted to ask you something re. promo for your book.

I've been trying to figure out how many arc's I'll need. I thought perhaps 10.
