It was an incredible two weeks filled with excitement in New York City with media appearances leading up to my first BookExpo America conference. I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to be a featured author in the autographing area on the first day of BEA where I signed copies of my book,?The Perils of Cyber-Dating: Confessions of a Hopeful Romantic Looking for Love Online.
It certainly didn’t hurt to be seated near comic, Dave Barry, who was signing copies of his book, Peter & the Sword of Mercy along with Ridley Pearson. I was also in good company with Julie Andrews who was signing?Julie Andrews’ Collection of?Poems, Songs and Lullabies.
Prior to BEA, I was a guest on several local and national media outlets including FOX News Strategy Room, Cosmolicious with Diana Falzone on Cosmo Radio, KISS-FM’s Wake Up Club, appeared in Glamour.com, and will be quoted in Crains Business New York next week. ?The parties, book signings & festivities, and even my birthday celebration made it a trip to remember.
As a first time author, I was grateful to have met with agents, publishers, editors, and received a warm welcome by other published authors. It was a dream come true for me and I want to thank everyone who helped me become a best-selling author. ?I hope you enjoy the video of my two weeks in New York. Get ready for the sequel!
