A Snowy Day at The Book Market in Crest Hill

As part of my commitment to "keeping it real" in terms of sales expectations, I like to share how many books I sell at any particular event.

I think authors, as well as other artists, sometimes have unrealistic (or uncertain) expectations regarding sales volume at bookstores, vendor fairs, craft shows, etc.

So on January 27, Rebekah and I hung out at The Book Market in Crest Hill for a few hours.

It was a snowy day and store traffic was light.

We sold seven books, which was more than we anticipated, actually, considering the weather.

So we were pleased.

And we had a great time meeting and talking with customers.
