A Fine Signing

Ah... now that was a good book signing I had yesterday. I met a bunch of friends and new acquaintances at the local Barnes & Noble, told people about my new book (and they sounded interested) and I didn't make a complete damn fool of myself - or even feel like one like I usually do, sat at a small desk by the front door of the store.

I particularly enjoyed blocking visitors' gangway to the Starbucks section. I was able to give them the hard sell before they'd had their caffeine fix and had the energy to resist, or run away from me.

One of the fascinating folks I met (who wasn't just there for coffee) was George Younts, actor and teacher extraordinaire at the local School of the Arts. He's coaching The Fighting Gnomes, an improv group that will be strutting their stuff in this week's Charleston Comedy Festival.

I also bumped into Patrick, who's writing a vampire novel that sounds very cool. Can't wait to read it when he's done (and being a complete coward, I'll read it in daylight).
