It's All About the Glamor
Today, for the first time, I saw my book, Off-Road Disciplines, in quantity. That is, about 30 of them arrived in two cardboard boxes at the AGTS book store, where Ray Reid, who manages the place for us set me up to sign some.
The best part of being a writer (that’s what I am now; it will take 2 or 3 more books before I’m an “author”) are the perks that come in celebrity’s wake. The best example for me today was the signing of my first 9 books in the sumptuously appointed storage room of the Seminary’s bookstore while wearing tiny reading glasses.
Even better, when photographed from the proper angle, my highly aggressive bald spot takes on the appearance of the Martian landscape viewed from space whenever I sign books.
It’s all about the glamor.

Now I can hardly wait to get my autographed copy. One of those you signed is for me. A shame you didn’t include an autographed picture.—Norman
