Hi everyone!
Spring is almost here, can you believe it? I have fresh dirt under my nails to prove it. It was a nice day to perk up the flower pots on my front patio. A bit warmer than I’d like for this time of year; hopefully it’s just March coming “in like a lion.”

Here are a few events at Changing Hands Bookstore in Tempe:
MEET THE BUYERS 2-4PM SATURDAY, MARCH 14 If you have a new book idea or you’re about to do another printing of your present volume, come talk to one of our buyers and get expert advice about shelf appeal before it’s too late to make changes. If it’s a new book, you might want to bring samples of covers you are considering, an abstract of the book, and any questions you might have regarding marketing or how to contact other bookstores with your new book. One of our buyers will take a look at the book or your abstract and give you tips on how to improve its shelf appeal. Cost: $25 for 15 minutes with either our Children’s or Adult buyer. Registration and pre-payment required at 480.730.0205. WORKSHOP:
