At the Mundaring Library
The Green Velvet Dress presented at two libraries in one week. A bit daunting, but I’m getting into the swing and starting to enjoy myself.
For evening events the libraries have provided a glass of wine and some delicious nibbles, which helps me to relax and puts the audience in a receptive mood.
About fifteen people attended the Mundaring presentation on Thursday the 1st October. I noticed heads nodding in agreement when I talked about teaching in 1961 and again in response to my comments about society’s rules for women at the time.
I had lots of questions to answer at the end and most people bought books, which made me very happy. I look forward to reading their reviews.
Signing books at Greenmount Library
At Greenmount Library on the following Tuesday evening we had to bring in more chairs for the crowd that turned up – about twenty five very appreciative listeners. The food and wine was well received, I was more relaxed and we all had a good time.
I was delighted to see young readers attending–a prospective writer and a young man who aims to teach. I’m very keen to see their reviews in a few weeks (or maybe sooner.)
Several people bought three copies of The Green Velvet Dress, which thrilled me. They obviously enjoyed the talk. I certainly hope the recipients of their gifts enjoy my story too.
Now I’m preparing for Dunsborough on the 22nd October.
