Today some of my students knew of my book, "The Romance of Kilimanjaro." I actually did an autograph on one of my bookmarks for one of their moms! That's a 1st!
The truly funny thing about me doing autographs is that most of my life I could not figure out why autographs were so coveted. If I met someone famous, I knew that I met them, so why did I need an autograph? If someone didn't believe that I met them, that's there problem, not mine.
At the La Jolla Writers Conference I did get my books signed by their authors. I feel more bonded to those authors and their books now, so I'm starting to understand the value of autographs---they actually add emotional value to the book!
