Talk about a whirlwind tale.
ASHTABULA, Ohio — A local author’s disappointing book signing has led to a cinderella story no one saw coming. Last weekend, author Chelsea Banning partnered with an Ashtabula-area bookstore, Pretty Good Books, for a book-signing event for her new novel, Of Crowns and Legends. As the event came and went, her excitement turned to dismay as only two people attended.
Feeling the need to vent and express her frustration in a way not to embarrass those that were no-shows, Banning turned to Twitter. In less than 140 characters, Banning spilled what was in her heart. “I came back Sunday night after being out and about for the day, and it just kind of blew up,” Banning said. “I was staring at my laptop until 1 a.m. with my jaw dropped. Is this really happening? I saw these names starting showing up: Robin Haab, Jodie Picoult, Joanne Harris. It just blew my mind.”
A"who’s who" of authors chimed in on the Twitter thread. Poor attendance at a book signing seems as if it is a rite of passage.
