Book signings provide a chance to meet supporters in the flesh, to interact with real humans in this era of digital books, digital discussions and digital photographs. How nice it is to shake hands with, laugh with and chat with readers and supporters.
John, at the book signing
Book signings, for me, crystallize those ethereal hours, days, months spent deeply alone creating. Something began in private ends with a very public showing; what was selfishly created becomes relentlessly shared.
Special thanks to my father, John A. Brown, for taking the photos (check them out here) and for all-around dad support, which is ever-present in uncounted moments, but vitally measured in a life made secure. Thanks always, dad.
It was fun seeing folks I haven’t seen in some time, witnessing the tireless efforts from wonderful behind-the-scenes workers, and meeting new people.
I am grateful, and blessed.
