It's so Strange....
I've been doing book signings over the last couple of days. Just a few mind you-mostly for Patrick's work buddies who bought the book and then wanted author signage (goodness knows why!) It's such a strange feeling to hold my first book as is and then it's compounded by signing the silly thing. I'm thinking that I should have a book signing event for Glass Slipper Conspiracy; at least then I can serve cookies or something, lol.
I'm also wondering if it's time for a Facebook page for William Tenys (the books, not HIM), just dedicated to how the books are going, promotions, newsy bits (er...), teasers, etc. Would that kind of thing 'fly' or would it have all of five followers who do nothing? I have no idea; I don't really *do* social media. At least then my writing chaos would be separate from the rest of my FB so I can stop clogging peoples' news feeds at NaNoWriMo, lol. I guess I just feel like I should be doing more since another book is wrapping up and people are getting me to sign their copies of CC and so on.
Hmmm....

I'm also back to teaching this summer-likely all summer. This means my freelancing capabilities will be greatly reduced, (but NOT my fiction work! If Blood Moon Rising is written between 1am and 2am every day, so be it!) I guess they either like me there or they're desperate for instructors-six of one, half a dozen of the other ;) In all seriousness, I try to do good work there and when I run into old students, they always seem happy to see me so I couldn't have scared them too badly.
Off to visit my parents next week. Then moving. Then teaching. Then Vancouver. Then teaching some more and more and more... free time? what's this 'free time' you speak of? lol
Yeah, I might be doing a lot of that for a while, ha ha. Sheer exhaustion I claim!
