But more often than not, the author was sitting at a table with her books around her, waiting for a reader to step forward and engage in conversation. (Asking where the bathroom is doesn’t count!)

I found my first novel–ONE REAL COWBOY–listed on Amazon in Germany. Yes, I googled my name. What can I say?
