book signing – Ann Dickinson Sargent

No great crowds, but many people came in to talk and take a book home. Many thanks to Mitchell’s Coffee House for hosting me; they were gracious and helpful. And Bill couldn’t resist taking home a couple of their brownies!

I was glad that I hung in there with getting my point-of-sale device working…which didn’t happen until the night before, at 9pm. So there was a bit of frustration about missed connections, but it all came together in the end. We’re able to relax a bit.

One of my beta-readers was there, and went on and on about how much she liked The Girl Who Talked Too Much, and how funny and unpredictable Kippy was, and she had to keep reading just to see what Kippy’d get into next. Someone else raved about American Governess, and how fascinating it was to read about my adventures in a Bavarian castle being governess for the five children of a Count back in 1962. I didn’t have to make much of a pitch!

Here’s a kind of blurry picture of Kippy in Colorado with Jenny, when she got to visit some horses.

I do hope you’ll be able to come to Mitchell’s Coffee House today between 2 and 4 pm for my book signing! It’s a gorgeous day, just a bit nippy, so be sure you get some of Mitchell’s fine coffee and maybe something delicious, while you look over my books.

Here’s Kippy, heroine of The Girl Who Talked Too Much, in 1991, holding one of her many trophies from the Special Olympics. had handicaps, but she was a winner in so many ways.

(I forgot to mention that I look a bit scary……a hole at the sidewalk’s edge was camouflaged by deep grass, and I took a face plant onto the sidewalk on Wednesday. Split my lip and gave me cuts to the cheek and forehead, which are healing but the bruises and shiner are developing nicely.)
