Last night was my very first book signing, and it was such fun! The crowd snaked through KC indie, Rainy Day Books, and out the door onto the sidewalk! We ran out of books, and thank goodness once again for the Debs, who taught me to always bring extra books to a signing. I'd brought all of my author copies, and had Hub running out to the van to bring them in so we didn't have to turn anyone away.

My family made a great showing, as did the ladies from Mom2MomKC.com, and even some neighbors drove all the way from the Northland, caravan-style, to support me (Northland neighbors, you get extra love for making the trip!).

A couple people brought gifts, and my agent sent flowers, but the best gift of all was just seeing my book in a bookstore and knowing that it's all REAL!

Here are some photos:

My first customer was a Mom2Mom friend. How cool is that?!

The crowd was awesome! And, of course, the family made a great showing! Thanks, Mom! Thanks, Dad!

I can't wait to do this again!
