Signing Aftermath

So, the "Last Hurrah!" signing has come and gone. *sigh* With it came, of course, SNOW! We have had no snow so far this winter. The forecast did not call for snow (I checked the night before). And yet, the day of the signing, after everyone managed to arrive from their various locations . . . it began to snow. With accumulation. *headdesk* But I think a fun and jolly time was had by all and we managed to sell a few books, even though the "crowd" at the mall was not as significant as it might have been on a Saturday. Thanks to everyone who ventured forth and came to see us! And of course to those who purchased books from us. We only gift-wrapped a few, but for those of you who missed us, the bookstore still has signed copies, as you can see in the display:





If you'd like to grab some of those signed copies, give the bookstore a call at (607) 798-7452 and they can get them shipped out to you! But hurry. Since the bookstore is closing, some of those books are going to be stripped *gasp* and sent back WITHIN THE NEXT FEW DAYS!!! So save the books! They're much more entertaining than whales AND they fit on your bookshelves!

We had lots of fun, as I said, and we have some pics to prove it. Here we have the pimp bear:





Followed by me being good to my fans:

Here are some of the group author photos, minus Barbara Campbell and Anton Strout, who bailed because of the weather (they wanted to get home before it got really nasty):

And lastly, the co-editors of the upcoming After Hours: Tales From the Ur-Bar anthology, being . . . well, co-editors:

I think they were $8.99 with a $30 purchase. I'm sure the store manager would give you the deal even if you ordered by phone. And then you could have signed books AND a Pimp Bear!

I like how you modeled that security device; I sense another career opening up.

Many thanks for the photos. Very nice indeed.

We got our first snow in Manhattan last night, but it amounted to nada. The rain and cold were more so. Still the Music Event last night was packed through the entry, not even standing room. Intrepid NYers Go Out (we have to; our living quarters are so small, generally).

Love, C.
