Yesterday was the first such event, one that was quite successful as I sold 14 books, more than I had expected for a Thursday. Once done, I headed over to the room I had rented through Airbnb. When I got there, I was in for a surprise as the house is beautiful and the young couple who offer a room in their house to guests were incredibly hospitable. They even provide a continental breakfast. Since the leave the house early, I was able to enjoy breakfast au naturel as I would at home. It is always a relief to find a comfortable and clean place to spend one\u2019s free time when travelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While relaxing in the house, I got a message from one of the organisers of the Edmonton Cotton Tail Naturist group inviting me to meet for lunch. Originally, I was going to go the the Cottontail Beach, but the weather is very cool, breezy with a promise of rain and no sun for the rest of the weekend. I made my way to the agreed upon restaurant and enjoyed an excellent meal and even better conversation with John Martens, the main administrator of&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/cottontailcorner.ca\/\">Cotton Tail Corner<\/a>. Check out the website and learn about this enterprising and inclusive group who give back to the surrounding communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I write this, I am in the South Point Chapters store waiting for my starting time for selling and signing books. I will report back later, likely with an update, to speak about how this event unfolds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UPDATE: I sold 14 books today, another good day, another pleasant surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As you likely know, I am in Edmonton to sell and sign books.
