First weekend signing event comes to an end
Thanks to all who visited J.J. Books this weekend at the Country Village in Bothell, WA. I sold a dozen books or so and met some very, very, interesting people while parked outside the bookstore surrounded by copies of The Shimmering, character sculptures, and artwork. A display case containing Tracker and Waz will remain at the store for a few additional weeks. The next venture will be to physically meet with other major bookstores and retail outlets in the Puget Sound area. The Barnes and Noble store at the Alderwood Mall in Lynwood, WA is now carrying The Shimmering on its bookshelves! I also hope to have a signing at this store in the fall. Again, thanks, and would love to hear from anyone who is following my efforts here on my first and only personal blog!

Sorry I missed the book signing this week-end. It sounds like it was fun.
ReplyDeleteThe blog is a great way to keep up with the news of Temora!
My granddaughter, Katie, and I read The Shimmering together. I should say we read it at the same time, because she lives in Colorado and I live in Oregon. Reading the same books helps keep us connected. We thoroughly enjoyed The Shimmering. It is well written and the illustrations are fantastic. We felt as if we were on the journey with Michael. I also liked the little lfe lessons along the way. Both Katie and I were disappointed when we finished the book ... we knew it would be a while before we could continue the journey. BUT the ending of Book One was so surprising. We didn't see THAT coming. Now we really want to know what happens next. Great job, Mr. Westwood! Anxiously awaiting Book Two.
