That's wonderful that you'd sit in the audience to encourage and ask questions. It's always a treat to have authors in store, no matter how big or small the turnout!Evelyn Skyehttp://www.evelynskye.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-997769391379685267.post-48549517232513819332015-04-17T16:19:25.472-04:002015-04-17T16:19:25.472-04:00Great post, Evelyn!

Daniel Handler and Brian Jacques were standouts. They played musical instruments and entertained with an entire "show." But not everyone is multi-talented. Their audiences were quite large as well. I do recall sitting in the audience (although I was working) and asking questions to support the author if the event attendance was small.
