Where Is Everybody?

I just finished a book signing for the anthology Chester County Fiction, in which I have two short stories. And I was dismayed at how few customers were in the bookstore.

Three years ago, when I was in that bookstore a week prior to Christmas, the place was a madhouse. The staff was harried, trying to keep up with customer demand. But today was barely busier than their usual weekend crowd.

My next event promoting this anthology is at the Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, Public Library at 7 pm this Monday, December 19th. I hope the audience outnumbers the anthologists!

  1. The next day, Sunday, I was at a book signing at the Barnes and Noble in Willow Grove, PA. That store was also quiet until about 3 pm. Then it picked up enough to need more than one cashier.
