What a great night last night! Mike and I attended a local author night at Barnes and Noble. We started at seven and actually closed the place down after 10:00!!! We were busy the entire time, meeting some new friends and seeing lots of old friends. Here are a few pictures of some of the people that stopped by. We sold 15 copies of the book, but really the treat for us was getting to share the moment with good friends and family. We also got to know Tara (T.J. Silver), another Mbedzi author, and meet some other amazing authors with really great stories to tell. The best part of the night, perhaps, was when we were getting ready to leave and the store manager told us that we were the rock stars of the evening. If by rock stars, you mean I hugged more people than all of the rest of the authors, including Mike, combined, then I guess that I was a rock star! At the end, we actually had a great conversation with Amanda Zhorne, the community relations manager, about how to get the book on their shelves. So, all things considered, it couldn't have been better. We love writing, don't get me wrong, but man, we absolutely love being out with our fans and sharing a great evening together.
Mike Hadenfeldt - the most interesting man in Cedar Rapids!
My cousin Melissa and my friend John. Honestly, try to find nicer, smarter, cooler people - you won't find anyone better than these guys!
Sydnei, who I think loves our book more than us. She is reading it for the second time and can't wait for us to get the next book (s) out. We're working for you, Sydnei!
With Tara (T.J. Silver) who is another author from Mbedzi publishing. I started her book, the Secret of Shadow, last night. She's right, she can write!
The Young's, who besides being very good looking are also culturally sophisticated and very intelligent. And now that they are owners of Hade's Gambit, they have just taken it to the next level!
