Montrose Book Signing

Randy & Kay at Hastings book signing

On Saturday, Nov. 14th  Hastings books and music in Montrose, Colorado sponsored a book signing for us.  Kay and I had a wonderful experience meeting long time friends, and renewing old acquaintances.  We especially enjoyed making new friends at the event.  Cheryl and Stacie with Hastings were very helpful in organizing and promoting the event.  The support and feedback from the community was very much felt and appreciated.

Sales of the book were excellent with the store selling several copies of the book before the book signing actually began.  By the end of the two hour event the store had sold out of the book and received orders for many more.  Needless to say, this is exiting news for us.

Although my tendency is to find a quiet place and hide, it’s good to get out and meet and talk with people from time to time.  I’m a bit apprehensive to admit this because it only fuels the undying hope within Kay that I can eventually be reformed into a more social creature.  Hope is good to have even if it’s directed toward hopeless causes.

My next social interaction with the public will be on Saturday December 5th from 2:00-4:00PM  at the Barnes and Noble bookstore in Grand Junction Colorado.  The Celebrate Colorado Authors event is an opportunity to meet a few of Colorado’s writers.  Kay and I will be there along with Anne Gulliksen, John Lichty, Patricia Martin, DeAnn Smallwood, Lucinda Stein and Debby Arthur Warner.  Please join us there for this special event.
