There’s something special about walking into a bookstore and seeing your book on display, but what makes it unforgettable is the people who show up to celebrate with you.
Last week in Colorado, I had the joy of holding a book signing, and I’m still smiling about it.
There were hugs and laughter and shared memories, and then there were the moments with readers I’d never met before, who just happened to be in the store and decided to take a chance on my book. That kind of magic always catches me off guard in the best way.
To everyone who made the time to come by—thank you! I know how full life gets and how hard it can be to carve out an hour for something like a book signing. That you showed up, chatted, and brought your warmth and curiosity meant a lot to me.
A special thank you to my parents, Mary and Gerald, who invited friends and helped make the day feel full and welcoming. Their quiet support behind the scenes always adds just a little more success to the event.
There’s something deeply humbling about moments like this. They remind me why I write. Not just for the story on the page, but for the connections those stories can spark.
Thank you, Colorado, for making this author’s heart a little fuller.
Some readers’ pictures are missing! We tried to get everyone but to those that we missed, you are just as appreciated and hope to see you next time.
