BOOK SIGNING - BETWEEN THE IRONS

It was an interesting day at the Durham Farmers' County Cooperative book signing event today.  It was like deja vu with several guests stopping by to chat.  One person had purchased a farm in Whitby recently and has been doing some archival digging to find out through municipal records, some history on the farm.  They had found several name plate stall signs and farm sign in the abandoned stable when they took possession.  Turns out the farm was once rented by a Morgan breeder.  That farm and breeder were neighbours of ours and it was this breeder that gave us our foundation stock 38 years ago.  The people were so anxious to get home and open their newly purchased book to learn more about the history of their farm and the horses that once lived there.
Another couple related to memories of the past and ironically one of them was in attendance when a tragedy took place at a horse show which is described in the book.  They too couldn't wait to read the book.
It certainly is a small world.  We all seem to be connected in some way.

Book Signing - Durham Farmers' County Coop

If you are in the area, please drop by at my next book signing event in Orono on March 12th.  Reviews of my book have been fantastic.  I think you will like "Between the Irons".  It seems to have hit its mark with a wide audience of young and old.

Orono Country Cafe Book Signing

Orono Country Cafe Book Signing didn't fair well. The restaurant was pretty empty most of the day. It usually is a bustling place, but I think the scare of a big snow storm kept most people at home. The snow storm didn't materialize by the way. Another false alarm from the weather gods. I did sell a couple of books but that was it. On to my next book signing.
