Book Signing

Last weekend at Border's Books in West Des Moines, Iowa I had a book signing. The two nights before I could not sleep, my mind was racing. I am not a woman made of steel. I called Border's the morning of the scheduled event to make sure everything was ready and I did not dream the whole thing up. Maybe there really was no scheduled signing. They asked me if I would be requiring anything else. I laughed because since this was a new experience for me, I really did not know what I required. Plus nobody had ever asked me if I required anything else.

I had copies of reviews, business cards, and the most important item...chocolate. When I got to my table and sat down I realized that all the worry I had been creating in my mind was pointless. It was only talking to people... so I lived and I sold a few books.
