I guess it also felt better than a bookshop launch because I wasn't competing against miriads of other books.

Every book launch we have had has been very different. This one has certainly made us more aware of studying reader and market interest. Ray's next book, Signpost To Happiness, will be a challenge if we decide to have one for it too.Mary Hawkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12603850711168486457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-86760976705532928212014-02-21T17:10:55.900+11:002014-02-21T17:10:55.900+11:00Sure wish we could do that, Anne.

I used to think book launches were a one-off, but then I found a writer who did one in each state.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02264631051671432037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-50603143327149515342014-02-21T14:51:57.303+11:002014-02-21T14:51:57.303+11:00I can just imagine how much the older folk appreci...I can just imagine how much the older folk appreciated your special program, Ray.
