I have read and love your other books! Can’t wait for Table Manners!!!
Wish you were doing a signing in Nebraska!
Good Wishes!

Hi Deb–Nebraska is actually on my list of states to go to if we ever do a multi-state tour, so who knows?! Would love to meet you then if I do! Hugs, Mia

Signed books are always welcomed. If something extra is added, something that relates to the theme of the book or to the authors life /region is always nice. I agree with Becky, something personal means a lot.
Congratulations on the release of TABLE MANNERS . Am looking forward to seeing what book 4 will be. Have a great summer!

Patricia, thank you so much for chiming in–okay, I’m sold! I am ordering some personal stationary as we speak! And book 4 … well, let’s just say that it will be worth the wait! Hugs, Mia

I can’t wait for Table Manners! I pre-ordered on B&N. I wish I lived in California (I’m across the country in Florida) so I could go to your book signings–I’d love a signed copy! Have a great time and keep writing–I love your books!

Thank you, Jen! I love writing my books, so it gives me so much joy to know that you enjoy reading them. Do stop by and let me know what you think about Table Manners, too! Hugs, Mia

Congrats on all your good news & fun events coming up. I’ll be honest in saying that I don’t really want/need much from the author. I’ve only received one book from an author directly, and she sent me a short, typed form letter with a jotted note at the bottom, and a bookmark. Sounds silly, but that little personal note was thrilling to me. I so respect what authors do, that communicating with them in some way, is really rewarding.

Good luck with all that you have coming up. I’m actually on a flight back to Oahu this afternoon. I can’t wait to get back!

Aloha Becky–That’s so good to know. I’m big into personal notes, too–written, not mass produced–so I’m going to mention this to my publisher and see if there’s a way that I can personalize add my hello instead of a digitized John Hancock.
