That library event was a lot of fun and much easier than I'd expected. People were in and out for over two hours, asking questions and taking my advice. I made a small pamphlet to hand out, I think I had nine copies, and I ran out. I'm estimating there were between a dozen and fifteen different people throughout the evening and there is a possibillity that I will be doing the same thing at another library in the near future.
A reporter from the Reminder came later in the evening, interviewed me and took a picture. That felt strange but thrilling as well because I will need the media's support when my book is ready to hit shelves and if I create enough pre-publication buzz it will increase sales.
Overall, I had a wonderful time and was pleasantly surprised to meet several Christians excited about my convictions.

WELCOME TO THE WRITING SITE OF SCOTT APPLETON
"Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones." -Proverbs 16:24
In a world where morality is forsaken and Christ neglected, wholesome books are uncommon. The themes of my writing are love, self-sacrifice, and honor.
I see my generation turning from God to the gods of this world. I see homes torn apart in the pursuit of pleasure and self-gratification. Children are murdered by the millions every year . . . without ever seeing the world outside their mothers' wombs. Through fiction I strive to encourage those who are willing, to stand against these things and be heroes and heroines; chivalrous, gentle, full of righteous indignation, and the fear and love of their Creator.

That's great Scott! I just came to your blog to ask how it went, and you had already posted.
Yes, you'll need the media's support, and what with all that will come your way when the book does hit shelves, you'd better get used to it now. :) Just remember to keep your focus on the Lord and giving Him the glory, and you'll do fine. :)
