Barnes & Noble Book Signing Sep. 3

Posted on July 24, 2009 at 8:00 PM

This is so exciting! This fundraiser/ book talk/ signing event will be the first time that Some Other Time has seen the public eye since it went live one month ago.

I spoke with the wonderful Linda Maloof at the Cary Barnes & Noble store today about the event, and she was very helpful. We discussed the date and time for the event, as well as how the event itself was part of a 3-day book fair for Sterling Montessori School. September 3, the last day of the fair, will be the day geared towards the older classes, mostly 7th and 8th graders. Of course it is open to whoever would like to see me, raise money, or buy some books!

We have plans to hold another book fair event to benefit the Panther Creek High School band program, which I was a part of for three years and am employed by as the woodwind instructor for this coming marching band season. The date for this event is still in the works, but it will be great, and I expect to see all of my flute players there! ;)

Hi Kiddo! I was just checking out the additions to the website - you are doing such a great job! I have been trying to peddle your new book while I am staying in Mt Airy. Carol, the nurse's aide now knows about it <img alt="smile" src="http://images.freewebs.com/Images/Smilies/Round/smile.gif"&g
t; <br>I haven't heard back from Tom Moore at the library yet, so maybe we need to call someone at Eva Perry for some help. <br>Looking forward to the next book signing! <br>You go, girl!

I heard about this event because I too am self-publishing in cary/raleigh area. <br> <br>I was wondering how you got this event at Barnes and Noble, considering that most self-published authors do not have distribution with national retailers--and it seems as though Barnes and Noble would not be interested in a self-published author if his or her novel were not already stocked on their shelves (or so I always figured). <br> <br>Who is your distributor? Do you own your own publishing company? Are you print on demand or vanity press? <br> <br>Just curious.
