A surprisingly busy morning considering the weather. I almost forgot to post my “first sale.” Tram picked up Wintermaker (and the Trickster) after also being a “first sale” back in March also.

Day Two of my Thanksgiving event. Although I have a great spot in the center of the mall, memories of the old Metrodome haunt me. Hope that sky light doesn’t leak :)

Love doing local events since I get to see so many people I know.

First sale of the day: Rachel picked up Stone.

Black Friday in the River Hills Mall. You can find me in the middle of the mall between Cinemark, Target, and the food court.

First sale of the day: Donnie is getting 2 books from mom and grandma.

First sale of the day: Sam picked up TAM.

Book event #44 brings me to Ramsey for two days. 10-3.

First sale of day 3 was for (Jake). Firehandler went 3 for 3 as first sale this weekend.

Day 2: first sale of the day is Shelby with Firehandler.

First sale of the day: Firehandler for Jenna (fiancee)

My job brings me to a new location each week. Today I’m set up along the balcony of the Eden Prairie Center. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

First sales of the day: Bible studies. First time since I began this tradition that my Examining series got a picture. Heather has picked up the first three and came back for more.

Linda is going on an adventure. First sale at the SEAC show.

Behold the power of the glowing egg! (I know, it looks like I’m gesturing at something else). Anyhoo, I’m all set up in Sioux Falls for 2 days.

First sale of the day AND a former student. Elyse picked up Firehandler.

All set up for Old Town Day of the Dead. 11-5.

Hanging out with a room full of writers and future writers for the Lakes Area Writers Alliance. Missed my first sale of the day.

First sale of the day…Grace is hitting the seven seas.

Selling books at the Maker Fair today. Building A right by the door.

First customer of the day: Sidney is going on an adventure with LeSueur.

Small event today in Blaine. Fingers crossed that the thousands of folks across the road at soccer come here for shopping.

First customer of Day 3: James with Stone and Ring.

Meet my customers today. Tons of energy at Siouxpercon.

2nd day in a row I let my first buyer slip away without a photo. But there’s Connor walking off the the DCC series.

Day 2 of Siouxpercon. I’m in the main hall from 10-6.

Selling books at Siouxpercon this weekend.

Love seeing those former students at events! Thanks to Cassie for picking up a new books.

Couldn’t take a picture of my first customer since it was a “mom” shopping for a former student (no spoiler), so here is a picture of my foot instead.

Day 2 in Northfield. The early bird gets the worm. Faye picked up FH.

Northfield’s pretty proud of defeating Jesse James.

With the help of AI, reviews can be very flattering. Too bad this was a solicitation baiting me into "paying" to be on a podcast. (Couldn't have said it better myself, though).

I’ve got company today in White Bear Lake. My “booth babe” has joined me.

First sale of this VERY rainy day: Amanda picked up STONE.

Thank goodness I’m indoors today! You can find me in Cambridge 10-3.

Today’s project: recycling empty book boxes. It’s been a busy summer.

First sale of the day: Jo! She loved the artwork (thanks Logan)

I’m selling books today at Rochester (truck blocked my canopy tent, but it’s there).

First sale of the day: Makena picked up Firehandler.

Another day, another water tower. THAT tower is in Albert Lea. One of the loveliest days of summer. Music, food, and BOOKS.

First sale of the day…Jane! She picked up DCC#3 and AC#4. I’m also pretty sure she’s been a “first sale” last year too.

Indoors?!?! I’m one of 40+ authors attending the Northwoods Art Festival.

Love running into former students. Annabelle picked up TAM. #classof2022

First sale of the day: Diane picked up THE ALCHEMIST’S STONE.

Day 2 of 3 in Ely. A bit overcast but that’s better than the alternative. Had an “A” sales day yesterday, so no complaints.
