Yeah, yeah, I know. It’s about time you posted pictures. So here you go folks, and not necessarily in any order!

Ah, one of three boxes of my author copies. Even before I cracked open the box, I held one copy that my publisher had in her stuff that she wanted me to sign. Anyway, you should have seen the Canada Customs guy’s look when I declared them and the ones I bought.
Me: I bought some books.
Him: $700?
Me: Also have the author copies of my novel.
Him: smiled and stamped my declaration form.

We were in the large double tent in the middle of the photo. This picture was taken on the advance scouting mission that Carla and I went on Friday afternoon.

My book is in the top of the rack on the right. It’s also displayed on an easel in a more prominent position… see here.

I thought the best feeling I ever had was holding my book for the first time. It still remains special but I think my first sale was even more special.

What a rush selling my first book! I can’t put the feeling of euphoria into words. Then I went on and sold 6 more!

Here I am with my editor, Carla. We had such a good time working on A Shadow in the Past. There were times that we both thought we shared the same brain we had such a great connection.

Even with the fun as I had in Kansas, memories I’ll cherish forever, as Dorothy said in The Wizard of Oz – there’s no place like home.

Now I’m looking towards the launch in my hometown on September 22nd.
