One of the nice things about book signings is that not only do you get to meet and chat with readers; you also get to hang out a bit with your fellow writers. Swap stories, discuss how blocked you are, compare signing pens, all that fun stuff. Here is Pierce, who signed books (with his mom, Jessica Kinney, author of the enchanting Pig Scramble by Islandport Press) next to me at the MWPA book signing on Black Friday, where I was promoting Mercy. Pierce has been working on a screenplay which will likely be produced sometime next fall.
