It is safe to say that I have held a lot of signings at various bookstores, and in many states. I have had mixed success. Independent stores tend to have far less foot traffic, so I sell far fewer books in that venue. I used to have great success at Borders book stores, but now they are out of business. Barnes & Noble is the king of present day brick and mortar book stores. I've been focusing on selling through more B&N locations. The first B&N I signed at had only ordered 15 books, and I sold them out in a matter of an hour and half. The next store I sold out their 40 books, and the next was over 50 sold. But this past Saturday I went to Barnes & Noble in Milford CT. They had 80 books in stock, some of which sold prior to the event, and my signing completely sold them out! This is the most copies I have ever sold at a book store and I was so thrilled. I have other B&N signings booked, and I am going to book more of them. ....Anyway, I need to get to bed. Just wanted to update my faithful blog readers (-:
