Thursday I did a Q&A with my fellow Madville author Steve Yates, who I’ve known professionally for almost twenty-five years. He signed books for a bit in the store proper, then we moved over to the store’s event space for me to ask Steve questions about his book. I pulled from the list my friend Shannon gave to me to set up my own Q&A document on my website, and some flowed just from the conversation. All very low-key; we had a crowd of about 12 there, including a fellow who said he planned to do a story on the event. I’m not quite sure how that’s going to turn out, but we will see.
I also talked to another bookstore in north Mississippi about a signing; we will see how that goes. Supposedly they have a book on the way to them. I talked to one lady over the phone and another over email. The issue is going to be turnout, as usual–how can I conjure up a crowd? I got my post cards to mail for folks to go to my Ackerman event, so I;ll be sending those next week. Who knows what’s going to happen,
I’ve also got invited out of the blue to do a library appearance in Pontotoc, which I’m not sure I’ve ever been to. It would take me out in the middle of a week but they have a high weekly turnout. So we will will see, there, too.
