Wow what a great signing I had at Waldenbooks in the Fox Valley Mall in Aurora Illinois on Saturday! I met with so many that were familiar with my novel "Xceptance" and couldn't wait to meet me and get their book signed. There were so many supporters that came from far and near bringing their little children to share in the experience. Some of my friends stopped by to show their support as well. Friends I had not seen in years! My husband Tony and I feel truly blessed to have so many supporters and we cannot thank them enough. I signed their copy of "Xceptance" that was being purchased and treated everyone with a free tote bag to take along. The store was a huge buzz and the signing was a big success!
