This was my last event of the 2015 season. It’s hard to believe it’s less than two weeks before Christmas. Yikes! Where has the year gone?<\/p>\n

It was a good day on the sales front for me starting before the official opening time of the show when I sold 1<\/strong> copy of A Shadow in the Past<\/strong><\/em><\/span>. Before the day was finished, I added sales of 1<\/strong> copy of The Consequences Collection<\/strong><\/em><\/span>, and 4<\/strong> copies of Tim’s Magic Christmas<\/strong><\/em><\/span>.<\/p>\n

I’m looking forward to the 2016 season and hope to attend even more events next year.<\/p>\n
