My First Book Signing

On Sept. 27th, I'll have my first book signing at Osondu Booksellers in a quaint little town in Western North Carolina called Waynesville. I'm glad to get my feet wet. I'm more than ready to talk about Going Home to anyone who'll listen.

I had an interview with the local newspaper yesterday, had a cleverly designed interview sheet in my media packet ready to go. Good for me; but as you would guess, she, too, had a cleverly constructed set of questions--different than mine:

"How does an author find the desire to write after a drawer full of rejections?" I write because I have to. If no one ever read my novels, I'd still write for the love of writing, finding the very best word to express a thought, twisting a plot, discovering new friends in the characters, and on and on.
"What is the name of your cabin on the mountain?" Point of View.
"Do you have a view?" Yes, a great view of the mountains and the paper mill in Canton.
"Paper Mill?" Yes, on overcast days, I flip the house sign over and it say "Point of Pew."
