Book Signing Success

October 21, 2012 By JPMcLean Leave a Comment

This is Abraxas Books in beautiful downtown Denman Island.  Yesterday, Saturday, October 20, 2012, Juan Barker hosted my first book signing for Awakening. Luckily, it was a crisp, dry day and the sun cooperated, peeking out between clouds for the duration.

My gratitude and thanks go out to the incredibly supportive community here on Denman Island and the best friends an author could possibly have.

Comox Valley Record

Thanks to Juan’s advertising efforts, the Comox Valley Record that picked up the book signing’s press release, and the sunshine – the turnout exceeded expectations … by a landslide.  The book signing was a huge success.

Sold Out

Within fifteen minutes, Abraxas’ stock of the book was seriously compromised.  I dashed to my car and grabbed the small supply I had put there in a rather optimistic “just in case” moment the previous night.  But within the hour, we had run out AGAIN and I had to call home for reinforcements.

W O W!

Sold out – twice in one day.  I like the way that sounds!  Thanks again to everyone who dropped by to say hello and show your support.  It warms my heart.
