at the "Church of England Institute" on Princess Street and it was a delight. This was the "Official Book Launch" and Gwen made certain that there was tea and scones and it was a very relaxed and comfortable occasion. There was a small crowd who came through and all in all it was an enjoyable experience.

at the Annual General Meeting of the Maritime Conference. Given that there were close to 700 people in attendance at the meeting, I expected this to be a bigger event than either of the others and was not disappointed. Pat through the UCRD (who hosted the event) made sure there was space set aside and books available. Sue from CSS publicity made sure there were extra promotional materials available which teh UCRD staff handed out throughout the weekend. The crowd was steady through the signing. One of the joys of this signing was hearing from people who had already purchased the book. They told me how they were using the material and how much they appreciated the resource - and I don't think there is nicer for a writer to hear! The other joy was people coming up to me through the business meeting and asking me to sign their book!

Book Signings
With the Publication of "All Things are Ready" I arranged a number of book signings.
I had previously been part of a couple of book signings with Dorthy Dearborn when "New
Brunswick Short Stories" was published so I thought I had an idea what to expect.
In some ways signing books in front of Coles prepared me and in other ways it didn't...

The First Book Signing was in Saint John in November 2007

The Second Book Signing was in Quispamsis in November 2007
in
the Quispamsis United Church Library after Service on Sunday morning
(sorry no pictures, never thought). Jane had wanted an event at the
church to celebrate the launch of the book. I had arranged through the
Church of England Institute for extra books to be brought in and
proceeds from the sale to go to the congregation's library. I was
overwhelmed by the response and I don't think I will ever sign so many
books at one time again!
The Third Book Signing was in Sackville on Friday May 30, 2008
