Karibu Books, Landover
Mall,
October 1997
This is one of my first booksignings.
I was nervous and excited, but it turned out to be a great
experience. That day at Karibu
Books, I sold every book on the table!
Not all of my signings have been
that successful, but they've all been a new adventure.
Signing books can be an interesting
experience, sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's boring, and
for a naturally shy person like me, it can even be nerve-wracking!

Robyn Amos and Dani
Sinclair
(a.k.a. Pat Gagne)
This signing was fun because
Pat's a good friend of mine. Signing with a fellow author
is a good way to pass the time and attract more attention.

The fact is, signing books is an
honor and a privilege. For instance, look at all the fabulous
athors I was lucky enough to sign books with at Nora Robert's
husband's bookstore, Turn
The Page Bookstore Cafe.
Nora Roberts is one author who
doesn't have to worry about how many books she'll sell at
a signing. I've seen fans line up around the block to meet
her. Who knows, maybe I'll be that famous one day!

Another great benefit of making appearances
is that you get to meet a diverse group of people. At the
event below, I was on a panel with David Simon (back row,
second from the left). He's one of the writers of the book
that became an HBO miniseries,
The Corner. I believe he won an Emmy for that project.
