Watching an Author's Book Signing

3/2/2013

Slow night at the bookstore tonight.  Pretty sad, considering that Travis Thrasher is signing his new book - Home Run - in the store right now.  

Normally, Travis attracts quite a crowd, but for some reason tonight, nobody showed.  I feel bad for him.  He was supposed to give a talk to the public, and I was planning on watching how he presented himself to his readers (in case I ever get to do the same).  But the chairs sat empty.  Every writer's nightmare.

Still, like a pro, Thrasher kept his head held high and stayed until an hour before closing.  He made the best of a bad situation, and I was reminded of JA Konrath's old blog - about what writers should do (how to behave) if no one shows for their appearance.

Travis nailed it.
