My TV Appearance at Barnes & Noble in NY – 2009

A fun memory sent from Shutterfly – My first booksigning at Barnes & Noble in Vestal, NY – The TV crew appeared and provided me with my 5 minutes of fame!  Santa’s Birthday Gift has since become a best-seller!

I think that TV clip is still available on my amazon author page…

Happy Holidays!!!

Memories from Barnes and Noble Book Signings in NY

From 2009 through 2012, the Barnes & Noble in Binghamton, NY loved my books and I had multiple book-signings and my books were carried on their shelves… Until we moved down to the Philly area where they “won’t consider Print-on-Demand books”   It’s really sad…

On the shelves…Featured Author

They are all still available online at barnesandnoble.com however, as well as amazon.com and there are signed copies on eBay…

Fun at Grandparents Day

Grandparents Day

I had a fun day today at the Grandparents Day event at my granddaughter’s pre-school, reading a prototype of my soon-to-be-released My Little Angel.

Since I didn’t have an official print copy of any sort, I made my own copy and she held the illustrations for me while I read the text from my iPhone!

(One little boy’s immediate reaction?  “I really LIKE that book!”)

Then she handed out my author cards to all the grandparents!
