Waterstone's Carmarthen: Round Two!
‘And you’ve got Matthew Rhys in today too, haven’t you?’ I observe. ‘Er. No,’ says Lovely Tim, ‘that was a mistake on the website. But we do have a lady from The Coal House.’ Introduce myself to Lady From The Coal House who asks me how long I’ve worked in Waterstone’s. Wander back to my table and get asked (1) where the dictionaries are (2) if I would like to buy a CD (3) did I really write my book?
Despite stiff competition from Sleb biogs which seem to be high on customer Christmas lists, I do manage to sell some copies of Turning the Tide. In addition I meet some lovely people and one very cute dog (looking for a copy of ‘Scents and Sensibility’, no doubt. Or ‘The House at Poo Corner'.)
Thanks very much to the staff at Waterstone’s and everyone who stopped to chat.

Glad it all went well.
Frances, you have to tell all the people buying the Sleb biogs for their friends - I lost out to Katie Price!
Debs, aw, thank you!
Pauline, you too - thanks for the support.
Fennie, gosh, I didnt expect you to make that journey twice - it was lovely seeing you the first time. Sales? Still battling with being a newbie and unknown.
HaH, yes, lots there! Thank you!
Milla, hmmm, not quite an old hand so far as public in Carmarthen go, they knew The Lady From The Coal House though!
Jane, I can see I'll have to take some lessons from you! The nerves before going out there are terrible!
Christina, it would have been lovely to see you!
Nikki, shouldn't you be NaNo-ing? *taps foot*. Good to see you, hun, and thank you.
Well done m'dear. You look very much at home behind that desk. And rightly so x
