Sunday, December 5, 2004 at the historic Roberts Hotel in Muncie, Indiana.  The event lasted two hours, from 2-4 pm.  There were almost thirty authors signing their books, and this was open to the public.  The MWW did a beautiful job setting this up.  We were in the 2nd floor ballroom, there were refreshments, and even a harpist playing background music.  I had a great time meeting new people and reacquainting myself with a few I'd met in the past.

Halloween Book Signing

Thursday, October 28, 2004.  Mooresville (Indiana) Public Library.  The program lasted one hour, from 6:30-7:30 pm.  I did a talk (forgot my notes and had to ad-lib, but it was all right), and introduced the two members from my local writer's group who showed up, Monte Coate and Alan Garbers. I was in a black gothic outfit, we had cookies, punch and coffee, gave out Halloween goody bags, and had a drawing for three different door prizes--a mug with my book cover on it, a journal with my book cover on it, and a copy of the book. Then I did my book signing. I had 20 books, and sold 18 of them. Whew! Busy hour! The librarian said it was a fantastic turnout (there were probably 30 people there), and she was really pleased.  My 7-year old, Piper, helped by drawing the names for door prizes and handing out bookmarks to everyone. Here's a picture my sister-in-law took of Piper and me:
