OMG! YOU GUYS CHECK
IT!
So international
commercials and some talk shows and pod stations, month runs here and
there. Also working on another ad, two actually as budget allows. But
that is NOT the most exciting news!
I am on top of the
world, as they say! The book signing at THE store was the most
awesome thing I ever experienced! The people were so kind! The store
was packed ... especially for it being a Tuesday. There was a lull in
crowds for only about 30 min. all day! The people loved me. I may
have only sold 2 books but I made a lot of important connections....
including... wait for it....
the grand parents of
a little boy who is trying to start a literacy campaign in his
school. (AWWWW! Doesn't that just melt your heart?) Anyho, everyone
thinks it's a great idea, but of course nobody wants to donate to his
cause. Well it just so happens that HEB, if you remember donated 3
huge boxes of books to our literacy fest at Erin Go Bragh, and we
sent most to the homeless shelter after. They however sent so many it
took 2 vans to get them all there. Well we had half a box left …
you think that's not much? Think laundry hamper over-flowing. Yeah!
That's how much our green grocer thinks of kids! HOORAY!
So hey, I won't be
getting back to the shelters until Christmas so I thought … they
were meant to educate. Let's educate! I am giving this little boy the
lot. I am doing it because in my eyes he is a true hero!
I made a thousand
business connections too. Most kids aged for the book couldn't buy
but were aspiring writers looking for direction. It was awesome that
people still care about writing. They all asked very intelligent
questions! Very proud to be alive today!
I met lots of other
writers, a zillion little kids, graphic artist/illustrators, lots of
connections... and lots of business types that might be helpful as we
tread this literary quest... but I have to say that the high point of
all of it was a little boy who loved others enough to reach beyond
his own desires and extent his hand to his classmates so that they
would be able to read too! Young sir, if you are reading this …
hold your head high. To everyone out there... keep an eye on him...
he will do great and noble acts in this world!
That's my side of
it,
Angel
