Excerpt from Gash Bloodaxe
Welcome back!
Today we have an exceprt from Half-Orc: The Tale of Gash Bloodaxe
From chapter 7: Night
It took a moment for him to find him. Dolanas knew the captain’s habits well, but even he didn’t always know where he was. He found him at last lying asleep in the open clearing where he had been previously talking with Marian. As Dolanas walked up to the guards that stood watch, he was met with a salute. Dolanas saluted back.
“Need to speak with the captain,” he told them quietly.
“He’s n… Continue

Things People Say and Do at Book Signings
Saturday was a Killer Career book signing at Barnes and Noble in Schaumburg. I just love the way they do their posters, by the way. Very professional looking.
It was 70 degrees outside, which is an unusual temperature for November. Needless to say, not everyone wanted to waste such a beautiful day by pending it inside a book shop.
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?"
Another took the time to show me some missing pages in one of the magazines.
What about you? What questions have people asked you at book signings? Anything that stood out at a book signing you'd like to share?

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.

Glad you're not put off by my overt Christianity. I figure if I'm going to go down in flames it might as well be praising His name. Blessings my brother.
