At the Mall

As the holidays approach, I usually get a few phone calls from book store owners/managers wondering if I'd be willing to do a book signing. Since I don't have any new books to sign this year, I doubt I'll be doing any (thank God).

Thinking about signings, though, brought back one memory. I was at a mall bookstore, sitting at a little card table with a stack of my pre-marital titles, when a guy walked up with his girlfriend and started screaming: "I know what you're trying to do! You're not fooling me! You're just trying to trick me into buying one of your books!"

The irony wasn't lost on me...I guess he wanted to make sure his girlfriend got the picture. Merry Christmas, sweetheart! Good luck with your dude!
