Book Signing-The Reflection

Yesterday I had a book signing at Waldenbooks in the Four Seasons Towne Center in Greensboro, North Carolina. The staff at the Waldenbooks were exceptionally helpful, supportive and fun. They attended to my needs, had copies of my books ready and even graced me with extended signing time. Thank you Jennifer!

I signed copies of SILENCED from 12 to about 4:45. WIth it being North Carolina A & T University's homecoming there were scores of people in the mall. I wanted to personally thank so many of A &T's alumni who supported me by purchasing SILENCED right off the bat. These alumni, students and parents gave me incredible hope, wisdom and information. I never felt so included before and accepted at a book signing as I did yesterday from those in A &T family. Thank you soooo much!

My fellow teachers from Kiser Middle School also showed a lot of support and gave out too! During the lulls in sales, you guys made me smile, lifted me up and pushed me forward. Ms. Carotta, Ms. Spence, Ms. Moore, Ms. Arberg, Mr. Melton, Mr. Thomas, and Ms. Shaw, you are the absolute BEST!

The book signing was a huge success! Waldenbooks ordered 18 copies of SILENCED, and at the end of my signing, only four copies were left. Beyond sales, the book signing was a success because I had the opportunity to connect to readers and to show off my girl, Cybil.

It was fun and exhausting. I think I'll sleep today.

Best,

Nicole Kurtz
