The day started by heading over to the coffee house to set up a mini display for LINES—. Just a flyer, a copy of the novel, and some raffle tickets to give a sneak peek for the upcoming book release celebration.  Before I finished, a customer came in and asked what I was up to.  I explained.  "Oh, I saw that on Facebook.  Can I ask you about the book?"  I ended up talking with this kind woman for ten minutes or so, and she actually bought the display copy, so I had to go home to get another one to replace it.  My first face-to-face sale!   How cool is that!  Thanks for your support, Bernadette.  I hope to see you around the Friendly again!
