First book signings


My first sing-a-long book is called "My Name is Buttonz" for ages 3 to 7 years. The child can read it or sing-a-long with it. It helps the child to learn to read better by singing it. My first book signing was Aug 28th at the Clark County Library for a Meet the Author Night. I was on a panel of 9 other children author's to answer questions about writing and publishing your first children's book. Then afterwards there was a book signing. I didn't sell any that night but had a great time meeting all the people and had great comments on my book.

My first offical book signing would be at the Book Boutique

where I would do well known and original children sing-a-long songs and introduce my book. So I grabed my guitar and books, my assistant/friend and husband for support and went on downtown to our local bookstore. The owner put out treats for the kids and set up a table and had everything in order. It looked so nice.

So we all waited and waited and a half past noon I decided that no one was coming. So we packed it up and decided to go about our day. Come to find out there was a festival going on down the street which blocked off the main street.
Wouldn't you know it. Just my luck. I felt bad for the bookstore owner as well. Oh well, until the next book signing. Stay turned.
