Tim's Very First Book Signing

Happy Monday everyone! I'm actually writing this on Sunday night - or rather, we are - about half an hour before we leave for the airport. We're flying all night tonight. We'll be home tomorrow night and then leave again on Tuesday, for another late night flight, to arrive in LA in time for an event Wednesday morning.

Yesterday was 'on sale' day for our new book, It Happened On Maple Street. I've done this whole tour thing before. Many times. Tim has, too, traveling with me. But this time is all new. We're both on tour now. Which means he has to do stuff, too. Yesterday, at our very first book signing, when they asked me to speak, Tim had to speak, too. He didn't use the mic. But he spoke loudly enough for everyone to hear him so that was okay. He did great.

And he did equally well with the book signing, too, as you can see up above. It was the greatest thing to have him there with me on this. I'm truly not alone. Not even in the signature part. I've never been a co-author. Or a co-much of anything. I'm not sure I ever want to go back to being a non co-author again. I will. I love writing and I love writing for Superromance. But nothing will be as good for me as writing with Tim. Sharing it all with him.

Tim's words on the subject: Yesterday was fun. Exciting. Good.

This is a once in a lifetime experience and we're thrilled that you all are sharing it with us.

The book is out there. First response has been overwhelming. We've seen things on facebook about the book. They're buying it. And reading it. It's scaring the heck out of me. And I'm reminded, gently, that this is why we wrote the book.

So off we go - into the wild blue yonder - or black as the case may be - on the adventure of a lifetime, hoping we're going to be doing good in the world. We'll be blogging all along the way and hope you all will continue to travel along, to share the adventure with us. And to help spread the word of hope and help to women who could have a brighter tomorrow.
