My first Book Signing this year and it was a total success

Hi every one,



Here are three pics of a book signing for "Jolly the ELF" we held at Borders Book Store at the Meadowood Mall, Reno Nevada.  This was in the beginning,  it got so busy my wife and I couldn't take any more pictures but it was a blast. We sold out and we have been asked to come back next weekend as well. We had Santa there all day which helped hahahaha But it was a blast and I'm looking forward to next weekend.
