Success is nothing...without someone to share it with

I reluctantly had my first book signing on yesterday afternoon at For the Soul books and More which is owned and operated by Essence best selling author Angel Hunter.

Let me first explain why I was reluctant to have a signing. I'd been told that generally any relatively unknown author like myself sits or stands in a store for 2 hours, gets little turn out and is LUCKY to sell one or two books. To me that seemed like a complete waste of my time. I felt that perhaps the best thing for me to do would be to postpone signings until I was more well known.

However Angel talked me into doing a signing for her and I must say I am glad that I did. It was a major success. I sold 10 books (all that I had on hand)and each was to walk up customers. I left there wanting to celebrate.

But I didn't. Instead I went home, read some, surfed the net some, and went to bed.

It's true what they say. Success is nothing without someone you LOVE to share it with.
