Even though there weren't many people, don't discount the proprietors and others who saw and interacted with you. They will talk about you and word of mouth is valuable. And they will talk about you and others may approach you about functions.<br /><br />You ought to see what you can do about school book faires too. You write for kids. It's a place where local authors can interact with kids and teachers. Here, my university's teaching program put together a big annual book fair for k-12 and and bus in students from surrounding schools. They also try to get as many authors to come to them as they can.<br /><br /><a href="http://siamckye.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Sia McKye Over Coffee</a> ~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042924928725513001.post-14257168568711690482013-12-17T19:46:28.900+02:002013-12-17T19:46:28.900+02:00You live, you learn.

And like you said, even if the turnout wasn't what was expected, you to spread the word to people who didn't know about the series. And isn't it nice to get out and meet new people?

Love the idea of the cup with bookmarks and mentioning that they're free.
