I have just taken part in the first book-signing event for 2019. Yesterday, April 28th, in celebration of #IndieApril – celebrating authors who are outside of the traditional publishing world – I went to Indigo in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan where I managed to sell and sign twenty paperback books. I also did a similar signing event last year in April in Saskatoon (it’s the closest book store) when I sold ten copies of my books. I have my second event in Lethbridge, Alberta this coming Saturday, and another event for Regina, Saskatchewan a week later. I hope to have another two or three events before the end of June.
For the first time, I am bundling the two sets of books together to sell at these events at a reduced price. Yesterday’s event saw three sets sold which suggest that readers like the idea of saving money if they can afford to buy a set of three books. It is probably why I sold so many books at this first event. I got the idea from my eldest daughter who wanted me to bundle a set of both series so that she could put them into a silent auction as a fundraiser in her community. As a result of yesterday’s initial success, I am making the author-signed sets available through special order here on my site at the same price, $49.95 which will include shipping and handling here in Canada.
For other currencies, I will sell the sets, unsigned at $49.95 US in the United States of America, 45.95€ in Western Europe, and £37.95 in the United Kingdom. The cost to send signed copies outside of Canada is extremely ridiculously expensive.
Congratulations, Robert! I’m delighted to hear this. You have so much wisdom to share. Wishing you the best of luck with your books!!
