Austin Book Signing
Hi all,
Sorry it’s been so long since my last post. The book signing at BookPeople over the weekend was awesome. We had quite a crowd, composed of family, friends, and several bookstore shoppers. The vibe was warm, welcoming, and fun. It felt a bit like an extended family gathering. Such a great way to end my first book “tour.” I couldn’t have imagined it being any better—except for the few friends who couldn’t make it for one reason or another.
But in the midst of the preparations and the logistics of putting on a good show, I was able to soak in the experience of it all. Standing up there, sharing my heart and my soul with the people I care most about in the world and seeing and feeling how proud they are of me—tell me, how can it get any better than this?
The BookPeople host Natalie told me my event was one of the best kind, because even the people who didn’t know me left feeling like they were part of the family. And that’s really what it’s all about. Sharing, loving, and touching people. I don’t care how many books we sold. What matters is that I made a few more friends and hopefully touched a few lives with my words.
For those of you who drove great distances to celebrate that day with me, for those of you who cheered me up on the phone and encouraged me (you know who you are), for those of you who have always believed in me and stuck by me, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you. It really means the world to me.
I plan to post a video clip from the reading soon. Stay tuned for more details as they become available. Also, visit my FaceBook photo album of the event here.
