Thanks Lou - I was fortunate in that a manager in the Knoxville Barnes & Noble received a review copy and enjoyed it so much that he wrote a great review in the B&N internal newsletter. This led to the company really supporting my book. I drove down to Knoxville to do a signing and met a bunch of really great baseball people including the Knoxville Smokies mascot and the fellow who wrote the nice review of my book.
It's one thing to write/illustrate a book, but the real work is done by the people who like the book enough to support it and I've been very fortunate in that regard. I can't tell you how much fun it's been meeting people across the country and giving talks to groups about my book.
