Firsts

There are always firsts. Some may be cause concern while others are to be celebrated. Our first book, A Wine Journey, was published on November 9th. Today we signed our first copy. It was a dreary rainy day in the Yadkin Valley of North Carolina. Our 1:00 appointment didn’t show up at their winery so we had to quickly decide what to do. We did contact another winery to visit, one that previously did not respond to our inquiries nor the person setting up our itinerary. We were in luck, he was at the winery and we could visit at 2:00. That let us some time, so we decided to stop in at Rag Apple Lassie, a winery we previously visited and wrote about on the Wine Trail Traveler site.

The owners, Lenna and Frank Hobson, were not at the winery. We did want to leave them with a signed copy of our book since we mentioned Rag Apple Lassie in the book. Opening up to the first page, we signed the book. Hopefully they will receive the book we left in the tasting room. This was the first of what we hope to be many book signings.

The hardest part about the whole book process is the publishing and selling part. Writing was simple in comparison. We do not know how many books were sold by the publisher or Amazon. We can keep track, though, of the ones we sign. We are scheduled for a book signing event on December 15th between 2:00 pm and 5:00 pm at Pearmund Cellars in Broad Run, Virginia. That will be our first book signing event. Another first to celebrate, hopefully.

Cheers,
Terry
