I get scared to do booksignings, at least by myself, but even to a point with other authors. I also wonder if it's worth the time when I could be writing or promoting to more people online.

After all, I did a ton of promo, was pretty faithful to MySpace and my loops, and one of my books, Liquid Heat, was #3 (now #4) for my publisher's books on Fictionwise.
