Sometimes I remain standing because it hurts when I sit too long!J. S.

Only sit when signing a book. Standing invites people to glance your way. Then say "Hi". It's a good time to offer a free bookmark and the conversation should flow from there. People are generally afraid to approach "famous people" and if you are an author they assume that you are famous. Be yourself. Be friendly.<br />Norma Warrickhttp://www.facebook.com/Norma-Warricks-AuthorPagenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891694310936224097.post-87178811852802663792017-08-31T11:57:46.093-04:002017-08-31T11:57:46.093-04:00Great post!!

The burden of conversation and interaction is definitely on the author, like it or not.<br /><br />Loved this. You are the book signing queen, so this should go down as scripture.KChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03924028116296474975noreply@blogger.com
