I was sorting books in the library as a volunteer and saw To Dwell in Darkness in hardcover. I immediately put it aside and bought it myself when I realized that this was the Duncan and Gemma team mentioned in Book of Life. I’ve preordered your signed B&N hardcover so. I will have two hardcovers of your books now.<br /><br />Teri Soareshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09857726595089810271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-24914513276545639202019-08-03T11:07:53.562-04:002019-08-03T11:07:53.562-04:00I have several signed books and each one is precio...I have several signed books and each one is precious to me.

Your covers always are, but this is probably my favorite. <br /><br />I have a lot of signed books, many by Reds, luckily. An unusual one is Judy Collins's autobiography, Sweet Judy Blue Eyes. She was signing and speaking here in Cincinnati at Books by the Banks, and I happened to walk by when there was no line in front of her. She was lovely in person, too, striking even now, having let her hair go pure silver.

I had 3 books with signatures of the authors. I gave two of them away to friends. The most famous author was James Michener and the book was The Source. Michener is Doylestown PA’s favorite son. I have a favorite friend of many years and she is a constant reader as well as a native D-towner. The second book was signed by Robert Schuller and his wife Arvella. I stood in a queue on Fifth Avenue to meet and shake their hands and the autographs. I can’t remember who I gave that one to. The last one I am pretty sure I still have. It was by a radio personality. Wayne Monbleau had a noon time radio program called Let’s Talk about Jesus. This one was given to me by a psychotherapist who was ending our therapy sessions. We both came bearing books as gifts. I think I decided to give her a copy of the Ladies No. 1 Detective Agency. It’s funny I can’t even remember her name now. I bet those Barnes and Noble special editions will be snapped right up.

Bless her heart, my mother told me to ignore and it would go away. Well.."Beanie" was the name my teachers wrote on my college applications, and now, at 55 years old, when the senior citizen parents of my grade school best friend come to visit me, you can probably guess what they call me. I hope your nickname was more exotic if it stuck with you as long as mine has. :)Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786511163919657885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-49811556281232257102019-08-03T02:01:03.517-04:002019-08-03T02:01:03.517-04:00An autographed book I treasure is one of Mark Stra...An autographed book I treasure is one of Mark Strand's books of poetry. It means a lot to me not so much because it is signed but because it reminds me of the night I was able to hear him read his poetry and talk about the process of writing it. That night I was able to thank him, in a few words, for the poems and for the body of his work. When I see his signature, that night in Irvine, CA comes back to me, those tender emotions still right there.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786511163919657885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-40795509315240094542019-08-02T23:16:11.642-04:002019-08-02T23:16:11.642-04:00I’m going to An Afternoon With Louise Penny on Sep...I’m going to An Afternoon With Louise Penny on September 1 and will be getting a signed copy of her new book “A Better Man” there.

It was part of the Los Angeles Times Book Fair, which was held on the campus. My daughter and I attended each of years she was there attending college. He was a fascinating speaker and very funny too. He wrote his first book at one of the UCLA libraries because it was quiet and he could rent the use of a typewriter for ten cents a week. <br />Congratulations on there starred review of A Bitter Feast.<br />I have several signed books, most happy accidents while supporting local independent books stores here in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have several from the original three women private eye writers, Sue Grafton, Marcia Muller and Sara Paretsky. I don't buy many hard cover books, it is easier to read on my kindle white running. I do have several of yours and other reds as well. Looking forward to reading A Bitter Feast.<br />For the first time my daughter and I are attending Bouchercon in Dallas this year, it will be a great experience. Any tips concerning full enjoyment of Bouchercon gratefully accept4ed.
