I have had so much fun since my books have come in. Students from school have been buying an autographed copy from me. I was able to show my class from last year the story projected onto a big screen with the audio. They laughed at the sharks voice. I loved it. Teachers have purchased it and used the book in class. Students would stop me in the halls and tell me how much they enjoyed my book. If a heart could smile, mine does each time! I loved hearing a 6th grade teacher say she used it to help teach reading tools and her middle schoolers loved it.
Now I am about to have my first book signing at Hastings in Kerville,TX on April 2nd at 2:00. I'm excited and nervous all at once. I sure hope people show up. To get ready for it, I went to the Kerrville school district and asked if I could send home flyers with the students in one of the elementary schools. I left them a copy of the flyer. They cleared it for all the schools in their district. So far I am planning on copying the flyer and taking them to one school. Their mascot is a dolphin and my main characters are dolphins. I may consider inviting one more school as well. I don't know what the turn out will be from that. I'm hoping to sell out of the books Hastings has purchased and the ones I bring as back up. People tell me not to expect a lot, but I'm still going to aim high! I am also going to purchase a guest book for anyone who comes by to sign. I need to get a book holder and cash box as well. I purchased a blue table cloth and a coral reef center piece. I hear I won't need it for Hastings, but I will for other events. My second Book Signing will be April 5th at Chick-Fil-A Food Court at South Park Mall in San Antonio, TX at 6:00. I'm looking forward to both events.
The title of my book is "My Finny Fin Fin." It is available from Tate Publishing, Amazon, Barnes and Nobel. If you are interested in my book, you can learn more about it at http://judichesshir.tateauthor.com/
