Last weekends Big Read Book Festival at the Clark County Library was great fun. Kudos to Julie Okabayashi and all her staff and volunteers for putting on an excellent event. The panels had standing room only attendance. I met a lot of local Las Vegas authors and reconnected with others I haven't seen in awhile. One of the things that happens when you get a group of authors together is they compare notes. That’s the inspiration for this week's article, Conversation Starter Promotions. I hope you'll find some new ideas for your next book signing event.

I'll be selling and signing books at the Clark County Fair along with seven other authors this weekend (April 10-13). If you find yourself in Logendale, NV, be sure to stop by our booth between the Midway Stage and the rodeo arena.
