The Book signing went very well. Ms. Gabaldon is not only a good writer but she is also a good speaker.

Before the event started I was standing outside trying to scalp our excess tickets and was repeatedly asked if I was "Jamie". This is the main male (Kiltwearing) character of her books, and my reply of "No, I'm not Jamie, and it's a good thing because I'd never get out of here alive" brought smiles and nods of agreement.

In her opening remarks Ms. Gabaldon recounted that during a press interview she was asked the question "So, why are your books about men in kilts so popular?" She was tired and the first words to pop out of her mouth were "Because when in a room with a man in a kilt a woman feels like at any moment she may end up against the wall." This comment brought thunderous applause.

I probably had my picture taken by 20 cell phones and was asked to pose with women about 10 times.

Here I am with Diana Gabaldon after the event. I made sure to thank her for sending me so much business.
