Out of the box thinking!

I have to tell you… I really do enjoy getting to meet readers. In this case soon to be readers of my book. It was a fun evening with good food, great wine along with a reading from my book. Many of the audience members were very engaged so much so that the question and answer session lasted much longer than expected. It’s easy to lose track of time when you are having so much fun. The location was instrumental in creating that dynamic audience experience.

As you know I have been trying to do a little out of the box thinking when it comes to sharing my message. This night’s location was a very cool wine bar, Santiam Wine Company. Located in Salem Oregon they have a very committed group of regular customers who now benefit from their newer bigger location. No longer just the premier wine shop in the mid-Willamette valley, you can now wine and dine as the larger location allows for top notch bistro fare and special events like a bestselling author stopping by for a reading.

We got to meet and chat with a lot of people and have been able to stay in touch with a few including Ken and Candy. He is a skipper; yes I am a sucker for any boat with canvass (maybe even a modern equivalent). Candy is the CEO of a pharmaceutical company still putting her shoulder to the grindstone and keeping those jobs in the USA.

One very special member of the audience has retained me to provide the Keynote address for their annual conferences.

 Debbie thanks for making it such a great time and we look forward to seeing you again soon.

    Excellent read, I just passed this onto a friend who was doing some research on that. And he just bought me lunch because I found it for him smile Therefore let me rephrase that: Thank you for lunch! “The guy with the biggest stomach will be the first to take off his shirt at a baseball game.” by Glenn Dickey.
