Had an awesome time at the Sci-Fi convention in Ottawa this weekend.
Sold 6 books - 2 each of Snake Oil, Temporal Element and Altered America.
Also made some great contacts. Have one bookstore say that they're open to the idea of me giving a reading in their store, had a fellow writer give me permission to namedrop him in asking another bookstore for a reading and made friends with the guy in charge of a 'Ottawa Writers' podcast.
May have even hooked up with a literary group here in Ottawa trying to put together a book festival in a park next summer.
Pity about the relatively low sales but I wasn't expecting to do better than a dozen sales this weekend anyway, so no real big disappointment.
This book festival looks like it's going to be a big event, if it gets off the ground, that is.

You can see pics of the sci-fi convention, as well as a *very* scruffy looking version of me, here: www.facebook.com/pages/Bruno-Lombardi-Author-Page/434916096583689
