We held our first two author events here in Northern Virginia. I think that both Steve and I learned a lot about preparing, setting up the event, working with store owners, etc. But I think the best part was meeting people. Some would look toward you, hoping to not make eye contact. Others would hover near the table, but never look at it directly. And still others would look our way, smile and keep walking. However, an invitation to talk with us was usually always a positive experience. Once asked to enter the drawing for a signed cover poster, and all walls usually came down.
Most people we spoke with had never heard of Roland, Charlemagne or any of the events in the epic French poem or covered in the book. So both days were satisfying as an introduction to the world of Dark Ages Francia and the tale of a champion named Roland.
Thank you to all those who stopped in at Books and Other Found Things, Leesburg, VA and at Comic Logic, Ashburn, VA. And thank you to our kind hosts.
Well, it’s time to make more introductions! This time virtually. Steve and I excited to announce a major blog tour for the book! I’ve never done anything of this scope before, so the opportunities to introduce more people to the novel will hopefully find more curious readers. I am giving you the entire schedule here, so please drop in when you can!
