Earlier today Battle Creek Books held a booksigning for 20 Short Ones. It was a ton of fun with steady traffic throughout the 2-hour 11:30am to 1:30pm timeframe. No matter how hard you promote and encourage folks to come out, you never know how a particular booksigning will go. You sort of pray and hope and leave it in God's hands. We actually sold out, which is a very nice thing to happen.
Many,many thanks to Jim Donahue (owner of Battle Creek Books) for his great hospitality in hosting the event and to all of the Battle Creek friends and Food Bank supporters who stopped by to pick up a copy!
The Food Bank of South Central Michigan will receive the equivalent of 1,000 meals because of your generosity.
A special tip of the hat to Wenda Dissinger, Food Bank Board Member, who suggested the idea of a booksigning, and to Holly Cavinder, the Food Bank's wonderful Communications Manager for being there and helping behind the scenes!
Battle Creek Books is located in the heart of downtown Battle Creek, 51 W. Michigan Ave. It's operated by the Donahues, who are extremely community-minded individuals and committed to supporting local authors. Battle Creek is indeed fortunate to have such a vibrant independent book store!
