The small force that it takes to launch a boat into the stream should not be confused with the force of the stream that carries it along.
– Friedrich Nietzsche
The day has at last arrived! Tonight at 6:30 I’ll be appearing at the Healthy Rhythm Community Art Gallery in Fairfield, Texas (a bit southeast of Dallas) to read selections from my book, sell copies, sign autographs and answer questions. I met the gallery’s owner, Ken Vail, at the Southern Harm Reduction Conference in New Orleans last December, and when I told him I would be publishing a book soon the first question out of his mouth was, “Have you chosen a place to do your first book signing?” When I told him I hadn’t he volunteered his gallery, and here we are! I hope some of my readers from the Dallas area (and Austin & Houston, if you don’t mind a two-hour drive) can make it out to show your support; if you’ve already got a copy I’ll sign it for you, and if not I’ll have a whole box of ‘em with me. If you live farther away, check my tour page to see when I’ll be close to you, and if you have any advice or input about events I should attend, places that would like to host a book signing or have me speak, etc, please let me know. If you own or manage a business or organization and would like to hold an event for me, please contact me ASAP so we can work out the details; if you aren’t the boss but still think you could put in a good word, let me know that too! And even if you live outside the US, or in a part of the country I won’t be visiting, please take a moment this evening to beam me a few prayers, positive vibes, good thoughts, best wishes or whatever the equivalent in your philosophy; as I embark on this new adventure outside my comfort zone, I’ll take all the help I can get.
Good luck!
You are going to be in Kansas City on the holiday weekend. I will see you then, without fail.
Good Luck!! If the shit goes hot and you need backup – shoot me a line and I’ll get on the choppah!!
Best of luck, wishes of prosperity while you pursue you purposes, Maggie. With love!
Good luck, Maggie.
Best wishes for your initial book signing, and for your tour! Go you!
Bonne chance! You’re going to do just fine. 😀
Best wishes, Maggie, and may the force be with you.
And don’t forget to have fun with it!
I’m disappointed you’re not scheduled for an appearance in Seattle. I’d love to see you in the flesh.
Don’t worry, just be yourself and relax. I think that will work splendidly in your case.
I know it’s months later, but on the grounds that best wishes are always a good thing: best wishes, Maggie.
