Pancake Breakfast

Attended a pancake breakfast this morning at the Knights of Columbus in Milwaukee. Met some really nice people and had some good food. Didn't realize how much I wanted sausage links until I got there.
I met an overly enthusiastic man named Larry who loves to 1-up everyone on a story. Not to say he knows more but in a nice way to be funny. He would even wink at others when making comments. He made me smile.
I talked about the book a little and was received with praise and excitment. Not from the subject of the book, but from being someone who actually wrote one. I guess many people want to be writers, but few ever do and the people there were glad to know someone who did. Got some good information on another book seller that might work on consignment. Will keep you informed.

I also told him a little bit about myself and my 20 years of theatre background.  He was quite impressed. Afterward, Wayne showed me around and introduced me to a few of the newspaper staff members including Bob Hanson, the facility advisor for the paper. We talked and joked with each other. Then he surprised me and asked if I would be interested in having my book reviewed, in addition to the interview on me. Immediately, I said yes! (I have been looking for someone to review my book for some time. I just couldn't afford to pay them to do it, so this would be perfect.) Bob instantly assigned the book review to Alex to handle and he and I ended up talking for awhile. He even purchased a book from me right then and there for his own personal use, so I offered to autograp...
