Signing at Waldenbooks was a success!

Me with a little fan proud to see someone like herself as an Author

What’s-up everybody…

Wow what a great signing I had at Waldenbooks in the Fox Valley Mall in Aurora Illinois on Saturday! I met with so many that were familiar with my novel “Xceptance” and couldn’t wait to meet me and get their book signed. There were so many supporters that came from far and near bringing their little children to share in the experience. Some of my friends stopped by to show their support as well. Friends I had not seen in years! My husband Tony and I feel truly blessed to have so many supporters and we cannot thank them enough. I signed their copy of “Xceptance” that was being purchased and treated everyone with a free tote bag to take along. The store was a huge buzz and the signing was a big success!

My next stop on the book tour will be at Waldenbooks in the Louis Joliet Mall December 6th from 1pm-3pm. I hope to see you all there!

Phenomenal Students…

Seminar at Evergreen Park High School

What a phenomenal experience I had with the students during my seminar at Evergreen Park Community High School. The teachers should stand proud because their hard work certainly comes through in the students. The students should continue to stand proud because of the positive image they reflect within themselves, each and every one of them. Their respect for literature simply knocked me off my feet! I say to them and other students alike continue to greatness, and no matter what you may be going through now in your lives good or bad let NOTHING stand in your way Ever… no matter who or what it may be, always remember you have yourself to answer to in the end. Make the right decisions and follow your dreams. Trust me they do come true!

I thank you for the experience and Tony and I will cherish our gathering for a lifetime!

Book Signing at Azizi Books

Azizi Books

Oh my goodness… I have been out of the loop for a minute y’all and I apologize but a sistah has been busy out there promoting and signing copies of my books! Trust me I’m not complaining, I am truly blessed.

My book signing at Azizi Books in Matteson Illinois was a great success! I met with so many people who shared their stories of inspiration, we laughed, we talked, we hugged. It was just a love fest of sorts! (..hahahah) I want to thank the young brotha’s that came on out and showed me their support as well. Keep standing tall, I’m so proud of you and it was truly an honor! I looked out among my fans waiting in line to meet and talk with me and I cannot tell you how happy I was to see our young black men standing there waiting in line to meet and talk to me as well. That really means a lot.

I have some more good news… Azizi Books is a black owned book store and one of the largest in Illinois. They will be carrying my books in their store as well as the dolls from my Kuckabug Collection of Dolls! I am so very excited about that! It was great seeing my dolls on their shelves. I want every one to get on out there to Azizi Books in Matteson Illinois and support their store. The dolls from My Kuckabug Collection are very beautiful, unique hand made and one of a kind, no two are alike and will never be duplicated! The hair is dread-locked (inspired by my own) and will make a great addition to your home decor. Add to your collection or start a new one today! I have a video that I made featuring the dolls at Azizi Books so be sure and take a look on my website www.denatyson.com because I don’t know how to upload the video on my blog here. Just go there any way and look at the updates I’ve added to my website.

Enjoy and I’ll holla back soon!
