Hello BOOK PLACE! I'm a published fantasy author. My last hardcover release, THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY is available at libraries and booksellers nationwide. Blackgloom has received glowing reviews in the national media and is being considered for a book-to-movie deal. In fact, one Hollywood producer has already dubbed the book, "BRAVEHEART meets THE LORD OF THE RINGS."

Things People Say and Do at Book Signings
The usual assortment of customers did come by, some asking me questions about how long it took to write my book, how I got started, and how many books I'd written.
Some said they'd never heard of me. I've heard that one before. (g)
What was surprising is that three children, not at the same time or with the same party, asked for my autograph - two on the back of bookmarks, one on a slip of paper. That usually doesn't happen. Maybe it's the economy. I don't know if their parents put them up to it, or if they thought of it themselves.
One person asked about my book and then said she doesn't buy from Barnes and Noble, but online instead. Since she was in the store, I can only assume she was scouting there for books first. I don't know.
Oh, yes, a variation on the restroom question was, "Where are the dictionaries?"

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.
When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.

Thank you for all the comments. I'm pleased to see such a talented group congregating here at BP. I hope you all have a terrific holiday season. As a side note on comments, please do not post large images on my page. I'm on a dial-up system and those images slow my access WAY down. I will delete any comment that contains imagery. Thanks!
