I had a lot of fun with Tristi Pinkston and Daron Fraley this last time out-I was even blessed with having so many people who already had my book that none needed to come out and get any this time.

Writing Life
Sometimes when you lead such a grueling writing life as I, you need to take a break and recharge the batteries. I do so by getting out and mingling with the people, or fans as they prefer to be called. I usually accomplish this by signing books for said fans.

What a fun group! If I was there I would have come. But I already have your book. And Tristi's. And Daron's, actually. So far, my enthusiasm and desire for attending book signings is for naught. I live to far away. Soon, though, I will attend someone's book signing! Anyone! I just have to time it right.
ReplyDeleteSee Krista, you are exactly the kind of fan I was talking about.
ReplyDeleteYay! What a fun way to recharge. :-)
ReplyDeleteI just barely met Daron, what a nice guy. Bruce and I can't wait to read The Thorn.
ReplyDeleteThanks Shannon.
ReplyDeleteKaren, Daron is a very nice guy. We (me and Tristi) were actually cracking jokes about that, the day this was taken.
Shoot. I was there and didn't see you? I went early on. Did you go later? Gee golly I'm blind! Too much looking-at-a-screen time - I guess I'll blame it on that. Glad you had a good time at the signing. Wish I could have introduced you to the Mrs. Maybe next time.
ReplyDeleteTwo ship's passing in the night.
ReplyDeleteOkay, that last line cracked me up. Way to see the positive in it, and what a great couple of writers to hang with.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim-the only book I sold that day was in the parking lot.
ReplyDeleteBut I truly had a great time just hanging with Tristi and Daron.
I wished I could have been there! I missed this signing and the authorpalooza because we had a family b-day party. Psssh. I should have bought myself a gift instead! ;)
ReplyDeleteI like how you worded that!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea what that meant, so I looked it up. It describes our situation perfectly! Nice one, David.
ReplyDeleteIt's all good Laura.
ReplyDeleteHeh-Thanks Charles.
David-I really like your work, I am sure we'll meet and read more of each other.
This SHOULD be fun! Why do it if it isn't? Sounds great.

Thanks Ann.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing you again. I'm sorry you didn't sell more books. Yeah, I was one of those "already have it" fans. Just remember we're all eagerly awaiting the next book.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate that Angie-its coming.
