In the chaos of preparing for my media appearances, including one on the Today Show, I completely dropped the ball on promoting my reading at the local bookstore that evening. I was so preoccupied with the thought of not revealing my undergarments on live television that I neglected to announce my event at Barnes and Noble scheduled for 7 PM.
We arrived just 15 minutes before the start time, at 6:45 PM, and the room was desolate. I mean, not a soul in sight. When I peeked out at 6:55 PM, I spotted exactly two attendees—both in their eighties, blissfully unaware of who I was, likely searching for a quiet corner to rest. Talk about a confidence booster, right?
Thankfully, a handful of other folks trickled in, so I didn’t end up conversing solely with grandparents who clearly had no connection to me. However, delivering my reading to a cavernous room of just ten people was an eye-opening experience I would rather avoid in the future. So, please, if I’m ever in your town, make sure to come out and support! I’ll do a much better job of letting you know about it next time.
