You're welcome. I'm just surprised more people haven't added to the list. While some people seem to think that doing shows, cons, and signings is so passe and last century, I've actually found it to be a great way to connect with people, and they love that I come out to meet them rather than just being a faceless name online or in bookstores. Rather than being a high and mighty writer who is so far above you that he can't be touched, they see a very person individual who is friendly, fun loving, and willing to come to them to offer his thoughts and wares.

You'd be surprised at the power of personal interaction. I'm even looking for ways to reach out to people who won't buy a paperback because they're all digital and do everything on their ebook reader or PC. Things such as selling ebooks on flash cards in shrink wrapped packages. I still haven't nailed that down yet how that's going to work, but I've already seen considerable interest in that. Especially at shows where tech savvy people want to buy my book, but don't want to be bothered with the paperback.
