First Book Signing

This past Saturday I had my first book signing at a local Half Price Books. Though they were accommodating by allowing me to come, I will admit that it was not as successful as I had hoped.

My wife was kind enough to accompany me on this adventure. I sold four books, two to someone I had previously given copies to but she misplaced them and two to my mother-in-law who purchased them for my nephew.

At the end of the day I know a sale is a sale and I am happy; however, I had hoped to gain some new readers. I felt like I was fishing. I put out the bait, (My table, signage, books, etc..) but only got a few nibbles.

Later, I went to a restaurant that happened to have a bookstore next door. I went in and spoke to one of the owners. Nothing guaranteed but there is a possibility that they will sale one of my books in their store.

Though, it was discouraging, I know that I need to keep moving forward. I will try to get into another book store soon and try another book signing.

So, I encourage you to continue to move forward. You may have some set backs but you never know when you’ll do a book signing in the right place at the right time.
