Yeah, I Snagged the Poster

Is it egotistical to frame and hang the poster from your first Barnes & Noble book signing event on your office wall? If so, too bad. I nabbed the poster you see in this picture and have it framed and hanging over my file folders at home. Thanks to Melody Watson for thinking to bring a camera to the event!! ☺

WMMM signing at Greensboro, NC Barnes & Noble
