Book Sales Increasing!

Things didn't go quite as planned today. I had intended to spend the whole day driving around to various libraries and schools trying to sell my book and schedule signings at other libraries than Owen County. However, my girls had other plans. They both woke up sick this morning. Scarlett had another sinus headache and needed to have that checked out at the doctor since she seems to be having chronic infections. Of course, with Tiana's impending surgery in less than two weeks, anything slightly ill with her means a trip to the doctor. She had a sore throat and ear pain so off we went to the doctor again with my kids. This is getting to be too much of a reoccurring event lately.

While we were over in Grant County at the doctor's office anyway, I decided to stop off at the middle school, high school, and public library over there. I sold a book at each location. To top that off, Jim got a book sold at work today to a woman (this is his second sale at work, another coworker purchased a copy for his wife). I also sold two signed copies by mail, one to a coworker of my sister's (way to go Jen for selling people on my book!) and one to a friend of mine up in New York. I have another friend who will be picking up a copy signed for his daughter on Sunday. Book sales are picking up rather well and I'm looking forward to getting the opportunity to do more book signings. I'm thrilled to be getting my work out there and into the hands of interested readers!

Next week (assuming my kids all stay well for a couple of days) I plan to set out and go around selling my book to other schools and libraries as I had intended to do today. Tuesday I have an appointment down in Frankfort and will have the opportunity to hit a middle school and a high school that are nearby to where I'll be. Jim has also said that I can post a sign at his work to sell additional books if people should be interested in purchasing books for themselves or teenage family members.

Today's music of the moment is again from my iTunes "Mel's Music" playlist and the song is from the electronica genre. I'm currently listening to "Going Out of My Head" by Fatboy Slim. I love Fatboy Slim's music and even have their song "Rockefeller Skank" as a ringtone on my cell phone. I love music you can get up and dance to or that encourages me to get up and move like walking around the track at the local park or going to the local church gym and walking around their walking track. I need all the encouragement I can get to get out and exercise!

I hope you all have a very Happy Halloween and enjoy the holiday fun. I love seeing all the cute costumes the kids wear! Enjoy your weekend and I'll be posting more on Monday!
