Tuesday News—It Just Doesn’t Get Old

What a fun week I've had! I did my first ever solo book signing last Friday, met and chatted with lots of readers, and autographed fifteen copies of Firefighter Daddy.

Last Wednesday the Saskatoon StarPhoenix ran a feature story about me, and as a result I've been invited to contribute copies of my Harlequin American Romance novels to a collection of books written by former students of the University of Saskatchewan. I feel completely honored.

On Sunday afternoon I dashed around to local department stores, drug stores, etc., that sell Harlequin American Romances, and did a little book merchandising. Snapped this photo of Firefighter Daddy on a shelf next to Marin Thomas’s Dexter: Honorable Cowboy.

Have you ever seen two more sighworthy heroes? I’m serious when I say THIS NEVER GETS OLD!

This week I’m teaming up with Sharon Ashwood for another book signing. Here are the details:

Saturday, July 24
1 to 4 pm
Save On Foods ~ Deli Department
3510 Blanshard Street, Victoria

We’ll have treats and giveaways, and everyone who buys a copy of Firefighter Daddy will get the recipe for my favorite potato salad. After all, if we're going to be in the deli, we might as well have a picnic!

If you can’t join me this Saturday, I’ll be doing another signing on Saturday, August 7. I’ll post those details in a week or so.

I hope you’re having a wonderful summer. Happy reading!

What a fun place for a book siging! You're so creative. Love the picture of our books on the store shelf :-)

I hope the signing goes well--you've got a great cover for Firefighter Daddy--he's one hunky hero!

Thanks, Alexis! Droves would good!

Hi, Marin!

Yes, my Firefighter Daddy is definitely a hottie ;)
And so is your cowboy! It's a great month for American Romance covers!

That's an excellent first 'solo' book signing. Sounds like you had a great time.

I am so glad you're having fun! How I wish I were coming West instead of going south. Someday! :)

Thanks, Jodie! I did have a great time.

I had a lovely chat with a man and his teenage son who bought a book for their wife/mother. They said she had hundreds of Harlequins at home and they were really excited to be taking an autographed book to her. So sweet!

Of course you're going south, Gillian - you're a Golden Heart finalist! My friend Jacqui Nelson is also a finalist this year and I'm so glad you're in different categories. I can cheer for both of you!
