Photos from the Harleysville Books appearance!

Here are two photos from my book signing at Harleysville Books yesterday! Great day. Met some interesting folks. HUGE thank you to my Personal Assistant, Kathie Cronk! I have to thank owner Stephanie Steinly for inviting me to Local Author Saturday. It was a fun event, despite the rain.

(Shout out to Patti Cline and Albert Reale for coming yesterday; it was a pleasant surprise.)

In the second photo, I was speaking with the owner and some customers about how independent book and record stores are still relevant. It was a casual signing. Kathie, who in addition to being my Personal Assistant (she chose her title!), is also the Baker-in-Chief, and she made some incredible chocolate chip cookies. My Booking Agent and mom, Kathie Woods Harrington, helped get this whole Book Tour rolling. Thank you, Ma!

I took the cover photograph of my friend Vicky Lee holding a really old friend, Woofer, who has seen better days. Dominique Messihi of Pepper Lillie designed the cover, or, rather, Dominique re-designed it, as we rescued this, my first book, from the clutches of the original publisher.
