Last Saturday was my book signing at Betty's Books in Baker City, featuring Tyler's Law, the new book. I also had a couple of boxes of the new version of the old book there, which was a good thing. We ended up selling 12 copies of Tyler's Law, plus I had two orders, and we sold 8 copies of the new Sisley Creek Press release of Complications. I was happy with how it went, and I think Carolyn was too...
Got some pretty good press off of this one. There was a very well-written review in the Record-Courier on Thursday, and a nice writeup about me and my books in the Baker City Herald and the La Grande Observer on Wednesday. Both were nice articles. In fact, a guy came in right after the signing started and had me sign both the page out of the Herald and the copy of the book that he bought. First time I've ever autographed a newspaper...
One of the highlights of the signing was a guy who came over from Cove just for the signing, and walked up to me and said, "I've never read a western novel before." Then he ended up buying a copy of both books before he left. I need more people like that to come in...
Overall, I consider this signing a success...
