  • Reading, writing, and the 3rd R

    October 25, 2009

    • The other day I went to another book signing (read: author signing) with my husband, author of McGowan's Call  and McGowan's Retreat, and Larry Smith, the author of The Long River Home.  Per usual, there were multiple authors at this book signing.  Just a personal opinion here, but the more authors that a bookstore hosts for a book signing, the fewer number of books that are sold.  Shoppers ...
