Christmas
Success
This was a first. I had never sold books at an event so public and packed with vendors. My past experiences consisted of sitting at a table and welcoming whomever showed curiosity. I was the only author at the event and probably the farthest away from the Christmas theme.
The coolest part of the event was two readers who bought all three of my books. The Discarded Knight, The Ignited Moon, and The Scorched Hunter. One reader works at a zoo and wore a snake around his neck. He was set up with other animals in another building. My table was located in a building across from where the animals were. The building used to be a Dollar General and had gone through a recent renovation. It has probably the nicest public restroom I have ever seen. Minus of course the one I saw at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
All in all, I hope to do more events like this one in the future. I sold sixteen books and even met some faces from my childhood.
