I promised myself I'd use Goodreads more this year. Until I do:

Sacre Bleu! First sale of the day went to Sarah, who’s from…Le Sueur.

Back for another Rustic Mamas event. I got to set up the full booth with a 10x10 spread. Check out my Indie Author corner.

First sale of the day: Tales of the Blue Earth from mom for Brennan.

I’m selling books at Inver Grove Heights today 10-3.

My first customer was wanted by the FBI, so no picture of him. Suzanna, however, is not wanted by the government, so she agreed.

I think it was Joni Mitchell who sang: “I’ve seen Eagan from both sides now.” Well, Joni, so have I. Today, I’m at the Civic Center from 10-3.

First sale of the day: a fellow author. Laura picked up an Alchemist Chronicles bundle.

Well this is a new one. I’m selling in a dome. The Superdome? Silverdome? Dakotadome? Nope, I’m in Plymouth from 10-3.

First sale if the day: Chai is looking for adventure. He’s also an aspiring author with a memoir nearing completion.

First sales of the day: Aldo is getting Tall Tale from Grandpa Karl, who happens to be a David Lynch fan also.

Day 2 at the Eden Prairie Center. I’m right in the middle of the action overlooking the center court.

First customer of the day: Bonnie from Blue Earth county. “You didn’t have this last year!”

My booth is linear this week. All set up for the weekend in Eden Prairie.

First sale of Day 3: Abby is going to visit Lake Manitou.

First sale of the day: Jewel came back for books 2&3.

First customer of the day: MarLynn picked up two books.

First customer of the day: Nathan, an Easton native, picked up Tales of the Blue Earth.

Keeping it simple today. Julie is heading to China for a few weeks, so I found an event just a few miles from MSP airport. With a storm bearing down on us, I chose to drive the Bronco and limited myself to a minimal table display.

The perks of selling close to home? Snuggle break!

Peyton picked up Stone last year and wants to visit Oak Island this year. This kid is an ambitious reader.

First sale of the day: Tall Tale of LeSueur for Stetson

NIcollet is on a roll. Another “first sale” of the day for Denise.

First sale of the day: Lurla! (She said it was a local Indian name from her grandmother). There is a fleamarket happening in the mall, so this bird (me) showed up early to get the worm! She liked vampires and mythology, so I introduced her to the series.

On MAP’s fifth birthday, it’s fitting that Jake picked it up as first sale of the day.

I’m down in Peoria for a two day event with QuadCon.

Missed it! My first sale of the day left before I could take his picture. Sigh…

First sale of the day: Kristina picked up Stone.

I’m in Illinois this weekend. Two days in Champaign. Let’s see if I can find readers and finish off a strong January.

First customer of the day is Michael, who is going to learn some mythology.
