My literary agent, Travis Sandler of Noble Works organized this book signing which was held last Saturday in a very beautiful, very busy, Barnes and Noble bookstore in Modesto, CA. The store personnel. led by Teresa were very supportive, which I appreciated.
Although it was primarily set up for Book One of the Irish Clans series, I brought and displayed copies of all seven published novels. I also played my Book One trailer in a continuous loop on my laptop. Exciting as the sound track is, it grated on my nerves after five hours of repetition.
I used a spinner APP on my phone to offer a chance to win a free Book One.
I want to thank all the readers who stopped by for their interest in my novels and for providing fascinating dialog about their Irish background. I especially want to thank Miranda, Yolanda, Terri, Rachel, Anabella, Jessica, Samantha, Sandra, Sarah, Mimi, Angie, Daniel, Maggie, Brooke, Kayla, Elizabeth, Alicia, Jeannie, and Jenna for picking up a copy of Searchers: Book One, and, in two cases Book Two: Entente. Welcome to my new Irish Adventurers!
You are wondering, did anyone win the free book? They each had a one in ten chance to win. Amazingly, five lucky readers won a copy of Searchers. Two of them, Sandra and Kayla, were kind enough to purchase Book Two: Entente to really get into The Irish Clans Adventure.
I am encouraged by the enthusiasm of new readers for my novel series. Thank you all. I hope you love my stories as much as I enjoy creating them!
