Book Signings
This picture was taken at Chapters during the signing tour I did recently. And I have to say, the whole Chapters/Indigo/Coles chain has been just fantastic! Especially the Southside Coles (Mitcie), Londonderry Coles (Sandra), St. Albert Chapters ( Lana), Indigo (Brenda) and Kingsway Coles (Jackie). These stores have so generously displayed and talked up "Root" so that it has sold out many times and I can't thank them enough.
And a special thank you to Laura at the St. Albert Chapters who took Root with her to schools for their Book Fairs. I was blown away by her generosity and enthusiasm!
Tom Pedeson, the Coles regional manager first took "The Questory" under his wing in November and from there we worked out a whirlwind book signing tour that, despite a few bumps here and there was a great success in getting the book out. Tom used to write scripts for me way back in the early theatre days so it was great fun touching base again.
I am expecting to also have "Root" in the airport Indigo this week, which should be pretty cool. I love the idea of it being bought and taken to some far away place. Sort of like the wind picking up a seed and dropping it off miles later where it can start spreading new growth. I love that.
Book signings are awesome! They're such a great way to meet people and man, have I met some interesting people! I was hoping to set up a few more during the Spring Break but am not wanting to distract from book 2's momentum. Hmmmmm...perhaps, I will revisit my schedule and see if I can make it work. You can check the website for any upcoming dates and events. If I am able to do some signings, I will definitely bring some some more hot and tasty Chorm and dogtags!
Back to writing....:)

I would absolutely love to revisit the schools that hosted me for book one's tour!
