Anti-Gloom Book Signing

Just a couple of days to go until my Kitty Killer Cult signing at Barnes & Noble in Mount Pleasant, and the jury's still out on whether Tips the cat will attend (pictured above - she's the short, furry one).

I've been letting a few people know about the event, and I asked B&N if there was anything else I could do to drum up some interest. "Pray for rain," they told me, "then people will come into the store." Which plants in my brain the gloomy image of booksellers across the country wishing for precipitation, the miserable gits.

For a sun worshiper like me, rain's a pain. So I'm praying for sunshine on Saturday at 3 p.m., whether it's good for business or not.
