The book signing event at St. Jeanne’s book fair last Friday went very well! We sold 20 or so books in about an hour. Even though the school didn’t request it, I decided to donate 25% of the sales back to the school. I had the pleasure of meeting many new students and families at the school in addition to many old friends. Principal Kristin Mora (who makes a special appearance in ZIA) and school president Sister Ernestine stopped by to say hello as well. My thanks also go out to librarian Sue Fitzgerald for her generous support. Thank you!
I’ve received a few requests from teachers and parents to do similar book signings and author visits at their school. Just let me know and I’d be happy to speak to your class or school as time permits.
