The Blog Hop question for today: What's your favorite beverage while reading or blogging, if any? Is it tea, coffee, water, a glass of wine, or something else?
If I am not drinking my normal water then I normally am having tea! I LOVE Green Tea or Earl Grey!
My Question: What would you like to see authors do at their signings? What swag do you hope they will give away that you don't see very often?
Sincerely,
Emma Michaels

Droppin' by via the hop. My beverage of choice is water or a glass of juice, depends on what's colder. Lol.

No idea what I would like to see at signings. I'd probably hold some contest though. Everyone who attended the signing was entered and then maybe do something personalized or very rare for them. :) It's all about the fans. Following and looking forward to more.

Come to see me at Murphy's Library

Looks like a fun event for everyone -- love that picture! What I'd like to see at an author signing is a willingness to have his/her photo made with the fans. Swag? Maybe a pencil with the name on it?

Congrats! You're one of them now! Do you like the traveling around and all? Maybe when I get a chance I'll do another interview, post release. I have to read your book first. I have it, just haven't gotten to it. I have peeked at pages of it and it looked good and I didn't read the ending.(yet)
ReplyDeleteBTW I don't drink when I blog or read. Too dangerous when I'm blogging and I forget when I read.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm already a follower. Really glad that the festival went well. I'm not so bothered about festival goodies. It's just nice when the author has time for a small chat, and is happy to sign the book.

Cool! Great picture :) I'm going to have to ask the B & N by me to order your book. I haven't seen it yet. Sometimes they don't carry stuff and it's frustrating. Or I can order it online for my new Kindle.
