Dan Wells Signing

I went to Dan Wells' signing yesterday at the Orem Barnes and Noble, and since pictures are worth a thousand words, I'm going to save myself some typing.

Ah, I love signings. I already had my ARC of Partials signed by Dan Wells at LTUE. (well, Jenny got it signed for me). But, I've got this new idea that if I have a book that's already been signed by the author, I'll get it signed again, and have it dated. So, that's what I did with Partials. Dan Wells already signed the title page, so he also signed the dedication page. Very cool.

  1. I love how having him sign it twice threw him off his grove a little. Way to shake up a signing! These pictures make me want to actually take a real camera next time I go to a book event. It makes quite the difference!

    And P.S. I thought Dan Wells was awesome.

    1. He was awesome. I think I like him better since he cut his hair. Weird, I know. And, we definitely need to take more pics. I always feel bad afterwards that we haven't.

  2. I liked how it threw him off too. Btb it was Suey who got your book signed at LTUE. Didn't want to take credit. ;)

    1. I think part of it was that I wasn't the one that had him sign it the first time, so he couldn't remember signing it the first time. But, it was kind of funny.

    1. I think I'm going to do it more often. Kind of like a journal within my book.

  5. Sad I missed this. But at least I get to see Dan Wells in a couple of weeks at the Orem Library.

    And, I LOVE the idea of having a writer sign a book twice!
