Two and a half minutes of fame (belated)

As you've probably already seen on [livejournal.com profile] pbray's LJ, me, Patricia, and Jennifer ([livejournal.com profile] jennifer_dunne) had a LIVE! TV spot on the local news station the other night to promote our signing at the bookstore today. The signing went well I think. In my imagination, I sold quite a few more books, but I was not disappointed by actual reality. I believe I sold more hardcovers than paperbacks, which was totally unexpected. A shout-out to [livejournal.com profile] fireun and the rest of the bookstore staff for setting up the signing and doing all of the foot- and gruntwork.

In any case, if you'd like to see authors making total fools of themselves on TV, check out the following:

Yay!

Oh, how I wish I could have made it there.

I totally spaced your signing today. I was going to stop by between my rehearsals but only remembered that after I got back to the theater.

On a happy note I bought your book the other day. Sadly I probably won't get to read it till February.

Not fools. Doofuses, maybe, but not fools.
