Signing at the Coral Springs Arts Festival last weekend, March 20th and 21st. This was actually one of the most fun signings I’ve done yet. This outdoor festival brings hundreds of artists and craftsmen from all over the country and rivals the more famous Las Olas Arts Festival in attendance. What I really enjoyed was the constant flow of people to our booth, which was shared jointly by the Florida Romance Writers and our local chapter of the Mystery Writers of America. At any given time-slot, there were usually four of us signing. I’ve noticed that often at bookstore signings there seems to be an intimidation factor, and some customers will skirt the table as if getting too close to the author might commit them to buying a book they might not be interested in. The result can be a long and deadly couple of hours. But not so here! People were genuinely interested in us and our writing, browsed the books, asked lots of questions, took promo materials. Many were fascinated to learn that we all lived locally. Of course not everyone bought books, but I had the feeling that some of them might actually look for our titles at a later date. One woman had her Nook with her and downloaded MOST EAGERLY YOURS right in front of me, which made my day! Oh, and made me envious!
