Be careful what you wish for, Random House sent a truckload of books to Battenkill today, and they are all sold and accounted for, Maria and I are heading over around 4 to sign as many as we can tonight, because another load of books is coming tomorrow, they are also all sold. Connie wants to get them out to people quickly, she is a hard taskmaster.

We are  heading towards 1,000 books sold at Battenkill Books,  my goal for this week. As more and more people figure out that this is a Christmas book or Plaid Friday book it is, the orders keep coming in. Maria and I will sign and personalize all books purchased from Battenkill and there are more incentives – give-a-ways of photos, books, a Frieda potholder and vouchers for free dog food.

My wrist still hurts from last time, but I never tire of signing my own books, this is a happy situation to have. You can order your own copy online, at your local bookstore, at Battenkill, through their website, or by calling them at 518 677-2515. We’ll see what wears out first, Connie, Kate and Marilyn or my wrists (Maria’s too, she is shocked at all of the books she has to sign, not all that gracious about it, either). This is a wild book tour, I am beginning to have fun.
