Library Event
A lot of things were going on this past Saturday, a Jr. Rodeo in Springville, the Tulare County Fair, a Pow Wow on the reservation--and my library event.
We came early, got everything set up and the librarian and I sat down to visit. Five of one, my good friend and leader of our critique group arrived. Then another good friend. A reporter and a photographer came next.
I decided it was about time for me to get up and start talking. I love telling about Deputy Tempe Crabtree and how she came to be. And it's exciting to me to explain how I incorporated the Hairy Man in this latest book called Dispel the Mist.
Five young girls arrived and listened intently.
When I had spoken for about a half hour another couple arrived. Turned out they'd come all the way from Fresno and their Mapquest directions led them astray. Even more interesting, they came because the husband is a friend of mine on Twitter--someone I'd never met before and learned about the event through one of my tweets about it.
I think everyone enjoyed themselves and I sold a few books.
Also, the librarian and I talked about putting on an author/book event at the library sometime in the spring.
I had a good time, people learned about my book, and I met someone new. We had a nice visit on our way to the parking lot.

Oh, I did buy a small pillow and a few cute pictures for the walls, total in all $5.00.
