Book Signing Blahs

So I had a book signing Monday night. It was blah. For one thing, it didn't get advertised. For another thing, we were stuck in the back of the store. And we (the authors) were too many, so I think we overwhelmed anyone who came near us. I brought my own book stands (always remembering the mantra "flat books, flat sales") and stood several books up. I also brought my big lion and sat him on the floor.

We should've been in the children's section so that folks looking there anyway would find us. At least two of the sales that were made were because I mentioned to people browsing in children's that there were authors in the back of the store. There should've been more signage, too. Oh, well, live and learn.
