My first book signing will be at the Ohio River Festival of Books in Huntington WV on April 28 and 29. A reception on the evening of the 28 and signing on the 29.
I'm home from my first book signing. I must say that this was one of the best times in my life. Thanks to Charles who purchased the first book at this signing. God Bless you Charles.
My second book signing will be at the HIGHLAND FESTIVAL in Abbingdon, Virginia on August 8, 2006 from 9:00 to 6:00. Please join me there.
HONEY I'M HOME
I HAD A GREAT DAY
My second book signing was my first outdoor festival. Abingdon is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever visited, with its old historic buildings. I looked in one direction to see a horse drawn buggy and in the other direction a bus that looked like what I first thought was a real trolley. I met three other authors during my day of signing. Being interviewed on the local radio station was James Campbell, author of Luther's Mule and Moonshine Money and Misery. The two other authors signing with me were Bridgett Anne Jackson, author of Secrets of a Hidden Trail, and Roger Gilmner, author of Kit Fox on the Prowl. I am looking forward to another year and another Festival in Abingdon, Virginia.
AND OH BY THE WAY!
To Dorothy, the desk clerk at my motel, a BIG THANK YOU. She might not have been at the Festival for the signing of the books, but asked for one without the glamor of the day. Thank you, Dorothy, you will forever be in my prayers.
Book signing number three was on September 1 at Friday in the Park
Friday in the Park is a annual event in downtown Beckley, WV. Fridays in the Park began this year on May 12 and ended on September 1. Entertainment was amazing and I am looking forward to joining them every Friday in the 2007.
