Yesterday Maureen Palacios, the wonderful owner of Once Upon a Time hosted a Book Launch and Signing for Cowgirl Kate and Cocoa, Spring Babies. Once Upon a Time, in Montrose, California is the oldest children's book store in the country - no small accomplishment for an independent! It's also the first book store I've ever been to that invited a horse inside - to my utter delight! I just might have to write "Horse in the Store" next. One lucky fan won a raffle for a free pony ride - just for buying one of my books!
I sat in a rocking chair in the store window (another first!) and read Spring Babies to a group of lovely listeners and then signed their books and chatted with them about reading, writing and horses.
If you're ever in Montrose, do stop at Once Upon a Time. It's a fabulous bookstore. If you go on a Sunday, there's a festive street fair right outside the door, too.
