Until I was asked to do a signing at the New England Independent Booksellers Association, I’d never heard of NEIBA. This past Thursday I discovered what the are all about while attending their annual conference. I thoroughly enjoyed my time meeting the owners of local bookstores that I’ve frequented or that I need to frequent. Let’s just say, surrounded by books and publishers, librarians and teachers, I felt quite at home there accomplishing mighty things with the power of the pen.
