Some Author Events Just Work!

We had a great author event yesterday.   Ann Pieroway came to sign copies of her cookbooks (Taste and Tales of Cape Cod and the Islands, Taste and Tales of Massachusetts and A Taste of Cranberries and Some Tales Too). She brought some cookies baked from a recipe in the Cape Cod cookbook (and I will tell you that white chocolate chips and dried cranberries go VERY well together!).

What made this a great event? Well…not necessarily us! Ann got to the Bookshop before us (we were at a charity road race in Sandwich and didn’t get to the store until 15 minutes before we were supposed to open!).  She happily helped us set up a tent, table and chairs in front of the store where she sat and chatted with customers for 2 hours. Customers enjoyed talking with her (and eating her cookies!) and we enjoyed having her.  She was so helpful and enthusiastic, we felt like making her a Titcomb’s Bookshop employee for the day.   (I actually heard her offer to carry a customer’s heavy bag of books out to her car for her!)

Ann’s working on another cookbook and, yes, we’ve asked her to come back again to celebrate when it’s published!
