The new show season has arrived!<\/h1>\n

\"new<\/p>\n

It’s been some time since I’ve done an event. A bit rusty getting the tartan throw centered on the table. That coupled with having 4 books to display added to the confusion.<\/p>\n

The sign I had for A Shadow in the Past got damaged in transit last year so I have to create a new one. I’m looking at getting a banner made for it and getting the stand to put it in. I have an easel and that’s fine but it does take up a lot of space.<\/p>\n

So, the new book – The Secret of Hillcrest House<\/strong><\/span> – is on the end at the right in the picture. It was quite bright in the hall, but the picture mounted on foam board behind the books has the windows in the attic cut out and battery-operated LED lights behind them.<\/p>\n

The new clothes. I bought the long ‘suede’ vest (as well as a short fringed one) and the white sweater from simons.ca<\/a>. Ever since being in their store on a trip to Quebec City, I fell in love with their clothing.<\/p>\n

\"new<\/p>\n

\"new<\/p>\n

\"new<\/p>\n

The only drawback with the long vest is static cling. And when a body walked, the fringes wrapped around the legs. That’s just a minor detail. The tartan boots were brought out of retirement from last year.<\/p>\n

While sales at the Friendly Circle Showcase on Saturday were slow, it was fun to see everyone again and make plans for other events later on in the year.<\/p>\n

So a recap of the day. I only sold 2<\/strong> copies of The Secret of Hillcrest House<\/strong><\/span>. When I went through my spiel, I described it as supernatural with ‘spicy’ romance. One of the women said my comment made her giggle.<\/p>\n

Before Saturday’s show, I had sold 14<\/strong> paperbacks of The Secret of Hillcrest House<\/span> <\/strong>and 10<\/strong> kindle copies.<\/p>\n

If you want to find out more about any of my books, you can find them on my website’s books<\/a> page.<\/p>\n
