Whew, y’all.
160+ orders and 697 books later, we are closing in on the end of this round of the Virtual Signing. I’m going to keep it open for a couple more weeks and do a second mail out in August to catch those of you waiting for paychecks, but the BIG BIG one for everyone who has ordered books thus far is happening on Sunday. (Books ordered from here on out will be shipped on August 15th at the latest.)
I am blown away, honestly. A little nervous about signing close to 700 books, but way more excited. The first year we had 96. Last year we had close to 250. Jumping to 700 this year has been a bit of a logistical adventure (plus the UPS guy really, really hates me…do you know how heavy 700 trade paperback books are?!) but I am just… there are no words, y’all. Thank you for reading, for buying, and for being O’Kanes. #okane4life
Here’s a taste of what my office looks like this morning:
Gail Crowell says
Congratulations. I am new to your books but was hooked halfway through the first one. Can’t wait to get my signed copy of Beyond Control and many more in the future.
Rebecca says
You’re the first virtual signing I’ve ever done. You popped my cherry on that one. I usually don’t buy books in both forms but I wanted these – BAD! Thanks for writing them. I look forward to many more.
Andrea Batten says
I recived all of my signed books(all 9) and all the freebies this morning. I am blowed away. Thank you both so much for everything. I love both of you and I will always be an O’KANE, FOR LIFE.
