Start by attending some signings. You don't have to say a word, just listen to your fav author talk. You would be amazed at how warm and welcoming the place is.

Pat and Gary are wonderful folk, it is their love and passion that make Once Upon A Crime one of the best mystery book stores in the country. <br />
<br />
I was so happy to hear that they had found a donor.

Pat and Gary are a perfect example of what I love about this community. Forget all the spamming. If you get Pat and Gary on your side loving your book they will sell a lot more copies of your book than emails will.<br />
<br />
Independant stores are the best place to break out mystery authors, especially people starting out. They all hand sell and spread the word. That's why touring is important. Not to meet readers, it's to meet people like Pat and Gary at Once Upon a Crime.<br />

Thanks for the update on Gary! I've been thinking about them a lot, but didn't make to the Write this year. They are such wonderful people, and what a thing to go through. I'm so glad about the biopsy and the fact that he has a match. <br />
<br />
If any of you have the slightest excuse to travel to Minnesota, give in to the impulse. Then make sure you stop at Once Upon a Crime and Uncle Edgar's, too. What a high class city to have two independent crime fiction bookstores.

This is very good news and it's a great bookstore. As an introverted loner, I'm forced to miss events like you described. I read about them, long to attend but know I'd be miserable if I did. Still, I'm glad the turnout was good. Minnesota is blessed with generous, friendly writers (and some introverted loner writers).

jon, yes, be sure to stop. it's not hard to find, although the one-way street can be a bit annoying. if you're hungry, you can eat at french meadow bakery or just around the corner from Once Upon a Crime is a bar called the Bulldog. It has good food. Right ON the corner is Tree House -- they carry a great selection of vinyl albums. i guess i'm saying there's a lot to do in one spot!
