As mentioned in an earlier post, I drove to Denver by myself, deciding to make the trip to ICRS a GRAND adventure. It turned out to be a really fun experience as I dropped by book stores along the way to introduce myself and give them a little treat (snickerdoodles & chocolate). All-in-all, I visited 10 stores from Wichita to Denver and then back again by a different route through Topeka.

Tuesday afternoon, I enjoyed a nice lunch with agent, Rachelle Gardner and then had my book signing at the STL Booth during the retail show. I am happy to report that we gave away a LOT of books, and I was able to sign continuously for an hour. The folks at STL (distributor company) were very helpful and a delight to work with. Here with Megan DiMaria.
