Hi Sierra – I hope the move went well.

Ashlyn – I think you’d be great at selling with humor. I also think throwing chocolate would work well. I couldn’t resist anyone with chocolate!

I’ve been wondering about signing stock after the fact, but to hand sell with humor does work better.

The problem is getting people to come over. You solved that by putting yourself right in their path.

One of my co-signers at a store solved that by throwing chocolate at people as they came through the door. LOL. Great ice breaker.

How could anyone have resisted you? Maybe you should make all of your appearances guerilla signings!

Sounds like a great read and on a subject that needs more exposure.

LOL – I’ve heard that it’s always wise to learn the location of the restrooms if you’re doing a booksigning. I look forward to trying out some of these techniques.
