They even had lunch in my honor, and I got to sign books at the end of the day. In total I sold over a hundred books! It was super cool, and even got mentioned in the local paper. Big thank you to Mrs. Desalernos for organizing the whole thing.

I was actually surprised by how many questions people had, but thinking back to when I was starting out…I had a lot of questions too. Before you write a book, it seems like this mysterious task that is insurmountable. But now that I’ve seen the entire process from beginning to end…it’s not so mysterious. Time consuming? Absolutely, but once you sit down and do it, everything seems so much clearer.

Coming up next month I get to do my first talk at a local middle school, so that should be fun. I’ll be sure to get some pictures of that event too.
