Speaking at the Healing Odyssey Luncheon
The "Real" Peggy and my step-dad Bob..taking a break!
All set-up and ready to sign
Signing my very first book
Well my first book signing, as most of you know, was this past Saturday. It was at the Mission Viejo Readers Festival and it was a great time! I truly enjoyed myself and had so many wonderful people stop by. My Mom, Peggy and step-dad, Bob where there helping out, as well as my good friends Li’ Barb, Elva and Michelle and that was not it, we had all kinds of folks stop by for a visit. My brother Bob and his wife Linda drove up from San Diego and brought all their friends, lots of teammates from the dragon boat team, and even my mom’s neighbors and friends, Cathy, Marge and Sue, plus just people at the fair. I signed books, visited, laughed and got to meet all kinds of nice people and it was success! What a wonderful way to start my book off right then to celebrate with family, friends, and new friends.
Mom even got to meet Henry Winkler and have him to sign her books, and being such a wonderful Mom, gave him my book to read in his spare time. I am convinced he has read it already and is on the phone with Oprah, as we speak, telling her to have me on her show. I just know it!
Then we went from Saturday’s book signing to Sunday charity luncheon for “Healing Odyssey” and a chance to speak at this event about my book. Again, what a nice day, great people, good food and just renewed my belief that this is such a great charity to donate too and have a portion of your funds support them as well.
Then Monday…off to Big Bear for the day. This is the local mountains, where “Hallmark”, the local bookstore; “Book and Bean” and “Paisleys”; a beautiful store in town are now selling my books and we will have two book signings up there for October, as well as one in December for the holidays. Plus the local hospital is considering them for their newly re-decorated gift shop.
And now today….I am in San Mateo with Vicki Riley from Dinky Baby.com for our first show together. I am so excited, this should be a great time. We will be here until Sunday and I will tell you all about it. In the meantime, if you are in the area, please come and see us and meet “Peggy the cheerleader”, her designer, Vicki and myself. We would love to see you!!
