So I went on vacation recently, bringing with me collections of my recently published material.
I visited the Burrito and her family, and my niece immediately glommed onto the book filled with stories I’d literally written for her, so that was gratifying.
Some of my family had attempted to order the Dr. Seuss comic, but they inexplicably ran into difficulties, so I ordered a few additional copies myself, and then I published a few more things, and just started piling them up for the trip, which ended up proving more convenient since both interested parties in the family would be in the same home for a few days. This filled up my luggage (balanced out upon return with new acquisitions…), and felt like better “visiting gifts” than I thought I’d managed previously.
I also recently brought copies of various books to work, and somehow they were all snatched up. In fact today I found out who took one of them, and while she says she isn’t much of a reader herself, there are family members who are, and…hopefully they’ll like it!
(I include this last paragraph because while it’s not the first time I’ve tried this, it’s the first time my coworkers were curious enough to not only take one but all of them.)
Still a complete unknown, but some readers know me.
