I’ve been dying to read Giordano’s book for ages, and until I handsold it in the shop I would read snippets here and there. I need to order another copy. I wish I could have been there to hear him!

I’ve had a hard time looking past this sometimes, when authors feel uncomfortable and thus give terrible readings as well, but as you said, not all authors were born to be in the spotlight. Probably very few, are, considering that writing is such solitary work.

Great article – I particularly love Michael Winter’s optimism about the reader loving the unknown book/author.

Great to see an indie doing well! Especially a children’s book retailer!
