How is tomorrow October 1st?! This year has sped by faster than I expected. I recently received an invite for an event in May 2026, and I was like, "Wasn't it just May?" 🤔
Last weekend, I attended the Night of Enchanted Realms marketplace in Dalton, GA. The setup was perfect for attendees to stroll from table to table and see everything the vendors had to offer. And there were sooooo many interesting items for sale!
Mr. Silvers and I arrived at 8am and got busy setting up my table. I practiced the table layout at home for about a week before the event, and yet I still changed things around once I was at the event. LOL! I have so many books that it's difficult to get them all in there without hiding another one. I'm definitely going to invest in some shelving to raise the height of the table display for future events.
It was a slow start before the crowds started arriving, but once they did, I was busy, busy, busy!
I had a display copy of The Cadence of Death deluxe hardcover set up so potential readers could flip through and see the beautiful artwork, printed edges, and the foiling on the dust jacket and case cover. That was a huge hit with everyone as the artwork really drew people in. They commented, flipped through, and then listened as I went through my sale details. Almost everyone ended up buying the book right then! There were a few who said they'd think abut it and come back. A couple came back to find the book sold out. Eek!
At the end of the day, I'd sold out of all the hardcover editions and only had 1 paperback copy left of Cadence. *Squeeee!* 🎉
I had a great time, met a lot of amazing people, and introduced myself to many potential readers. It was a good day, and I'm glad I attended. 😊
