Well, here we are in October! Football is underway, Halloween is drawing near. Our hearts go out to the folks in Las Vegas for the tragic event over this past weekend. I ask that you join me in uplifting the families and friends affected and sending love, light, prayers and healing energy to the city.
Also, I'd like to bring to your attention an upcoming event.... Love N. Vegas held October 27-29 is one of the most prominent book signing conventions, bringing the most influential authors together in one location!
So what should you do/bring if you're one of the honored guests?
Here are a few ideas....
*Promo Items: Book Marks, Pens, Magnets, small notebooks with your book cover glued to the front. People love free stuff and even if they don't buy that day, many times they'll purchase something later or pass your information on to someone they suspect will love your work.
*Candy Dish: Filled with an assortment of wrapped or packaged candy.
*Books! Be sure you have several copies of your title(s).
*Wear Comfortable Clothing. You don't have to be sloppy but neither do you need to be uncomfortable.
*Make Eye Contact and Initiate Conversation: People love to know more about you and your book(s), be prepared to talk to them! Don't hide in a corner or spend so much time talking to your neighbors that you ignore the reading public.
*Get the name/address of everyone who buys your book(s): Ask their permission to be added to your email/newsletter list. This is your readership!
*Give away a copy or two of your book(s): Have people sign up for the drawing. Let them know by doing so, they'll be added to your email/newsletter list unless they opt out (make sure there is a place on the form for them to do so).
*Most Importantly have fun! Being a part of one of these is truly a treasure to remember!
These are just a few ideas to help you have a wonderful and successful event. For more information visit Love N. Vegas website and for travel/lodging arrangements check out Las Vegas travel deals page for the best flight and hotel packages!
Hope you enjoyed today's post and that you'll drop by each week for Tuesday Treasures, Thursday Thoughts and Saturday Spotlight.
Don't forget, the blog tour and rafflecopter giveaway for The Inheritance is going on now! Be sure and drop by each stop and enter to win!
Until next time, take care and God bless.

Good tips, Pam. I'll have to think about this con for next year. I have family in the area.
