On March 22nd, I was working at the bookstore ...And Books, Too! Part of my shift was during a book signing for two authors - Carmen Peone and Paty Jager. I was excited to meet them as I'm friends with them on Facebook. They're both wonderful authors, and I'm so glad they had a book signing at the store. When they came, I happily met them and purchased two books - Broken Bondage by Carmen Peone and Perfectly Good Nanny by Paty Jager. I look forward to reading them both. And they're both signed! I was really eager to get their autographs. They both write romance. Carmen Peone writes with a western, inspirational theme, and Paty Jager does a mystery theme (she also does cowboys). Both are great!

Before the signing, I connected with Carmen and Paty on Facebook. I love connecting with authors, especially since I like having them as guests on my blog. It reminds me of an old blog I had a long time ago. It was called The Christian Scroll and the focus was on authors and books. It actually became popular, but I was burnt out keeping it up. I had giveaways, interviews, and book reviews constantly being posted. I had made connections with many different authors. I sometimes wonder if I should have kept it up, but it became too much. I had overworked myself, and it was time to give it up. I'm now encouraged to do more of that again, but only on Thursdays. Thursdays I reserve for authors and books. Super fun!



With this blog I'd like to do all kinds of bookish posts on Thursdays. I've already done some author interviews, book reviews, and a small number of giveaways. If you can think of something else, let me know. I try to blog five days a week. That doesn't always happen, but it's what I strive for each week. If you, yourself, would like to be featured on Thursdays (if you're an author), let me know! You can email me: thewanderingwithgrace@gmail.com. I'd love to connect with you! I'm sure we can set something up. Interviews are especially the most popular, so if you'd like to do one with me, shoot me an email! Or even leave a comment on this post. Thank you so much! I look forward to connecting with you! 💓

Going back to the signing, I was pleased to have met two authors that day! I'm hoping to meet more when they come into the bookstore for a book signing. So, if you plan on doing one, connect with me! If you're interested, yourself, in connecting with Carmen Peone and Paty Jager, you can find them provided: Carmen's website at
carmenpeone.com, and Paty's website at
patyjager.net. I want to thank Carmen and Paty at the signing. They were so incredibly kind and friendly! I hope to see them again when they stop by! I would also like to thank the store for hosting them! If you got the chance to meet them at the signing, I hope you enjoyed it! More to come, I'm sure!
