I was buying a copy of "my" Cosmo a few months ago and I asked the clerk to put it in a separate bag because I didn't want it to get smashed by groceries or whatever. She sort of rolled her eyes and made me feel stupid, and I was too embarrassed to say anything more!! Gah. What is so hard about saying I'm *this* author? It just seems so pretentious. But it's really not, right?<br /><br />So next time, introduce yourself, ask for the manager, and sign all of the stock. I've done it and no one blinks an eye. They are always super nice. Plus then you meet connects for book signings!<br /><br />Congrats on the great reviews.Jill Sorensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13780655429244358019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414093212095906246.post-80869365002547884972010-03-24T19:35:04.426-05:002010-03-24T19:35:04.426-05:00LOL..of course you would have to go through all th...LOL..of course you would have to go through all those hurdles to see your book..I'm glad you put it on the shelf though..LOL!Mandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05164981880837468084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414093212095906246.post-64365216794403353412010-03-24T16:52:17.418-05:002010-03-24T16:52:17.418-05:00That is indeed a non-triumphant first viewing, but...That is indeed a non-triumphant first viewing, but at least Justine got some cool neighbours.Sullivan McPighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15133432350331782496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414093212095906246.post-51661690985738834642010-03-24T13:51:02.353-05:002010-03-24T13:51:02.353-05:00CJ!

What a cool neighborhood! ;) <br /><br />p.s. I think it would be cool for you to sign the copies of your book at your local bookstores. I know that Eloisa James has done that because she lives in my area and I have found signed copies of her books at my B&N.
