Ceri and I have been having a great time meeting people, seeing people and selling books by Welsh authors at NAFOW. A lot of people want books and it's been great fun talking about them.

Today the Great Plains Welsh Heritage Project table was absolutely surrounded by Rhys Bowen fans crowding in to get her to sign a pile of her books provided by local Portland mystery book store, Murder By The Book . Despite being right across from them, I couldn't see her at all, there were so many people.



Authors Lyn and Sharon Clarke also brought books to sell and Lyn was very generous and gave Ceri and I a copy of Gringo Revolutionary , the hard-to-find biography of Caryl ap Rhys, who invaded Tijuana flying the red flag during the Mexican Revolution, a very interesting guy and I'm sure a very interesting story. Thank you again, Lyn, we deeply appreciate it!



Last year's David Western Lovespoon winner Howard Evans very kindly and generously brought the 2009 spoon to NAFOW with him from Montana to show it off and help sell a lot of tickets for this year's spoon drawing. Good luck to everyone, David is doing this year's spoon with artist Laura Jenkins-Gorun and it is completely amazing!
