Hey all, HAPPY FRIDAY!!!
With a successful end to the blog and book tours, I thought I’d use this post to celebrate a few things AND give you deets on my epic end-of-the-tour giveaway going on this weekend.
Let’s start with the fun signing from last night. Barnes and Noble did an epic Teacher Appreciation night. I got to give a little talk, along with two amazing authors – Anne Bromley, author of an amazing picture book THE LUNCH THEIF, and Dawn Knobbe, author of a YA adventure book, RUNAWAY STORM. I met other teachers, a publicist, a few parents and some store execs. It was a fab night. But don’t take my word for it…I have pics
Two areas were set up in the store – one where the other authors and I talked, gave workshops, etc, and one for signing books. And YES, I kept the very cool signage! (yep, I am a geek)
First, I talked with the crowd:
Then, I made friends:
And finally, I signed a few books!
AN EPIC night all the way around. I stocked signed a few copies for the store, so if you live near Oceanside, CA and want to QUICKLY get a copy of the book (it is still a 4-week turn with Amazon), stop by the Barnes and Noble and check it out in the parenting book section!
Next up, the blog tour. There are still a few chances to win a signed copy of EMOTIONAL INTENSITY IN GIFTED STUDENTS in a few remaining contests:
- Margaret Barney ends 10/17
- Thomas Furman - ends 10/20

Hi Christine. Thanks for sharing the photos. Congrats again on your book coming out!!
I love the pics!!!! Oh, you have no idea how badly I wish I could have been there
What an awesome, awesome night for you!
Congrats!!
Wow! That is so ubercool. You had a book signing! I’m so glad it went well!
Really happy for you !
How cool! Looks like a great event! I’m glad it has all turned out so well for you
Congratulations on the book! Oh, to win a copy–I need it NOW, not 4 weeks from now when Amazon gets around to shipping–or 6 months from now, when the library finally adds it!
Wish I could have been to a signing. When you’re super famous you’ll have to come out to St. Louis!
Yay for an epic launch and some amazing events! You are my hero.
I’m glad you had such a great signing! And congratulations again on your book launch! (I wish I lived in California where i could get a book now, instead of waiting!)
Look at you, all authorly and such! Congrats on a wonderful whirlwind!
What a fun event! Congratulations, Christine. I’m so happy that all is going so well for you. It’s definitely time to party!
I can’t wait to read this book. I raised two gifted girls to adulthood and I sure could have used this book when they were growing up. Even though my kids are grown now I still want to read this book. I’m hoping I need it for the future “gifted” grandkids.
All the best to you and continued success on your book! I’m so happy that I got my copy from Prufrock Press today! My weekend is set.
It would be awesome to win all gift pack so I can share it with my parents group and son’s teachers!
Well done!
Thanks for making an impact in the world of gifted kids.

Yay Christine!!
Like I said on Twitter, I was really sad to miss it. Stupid 2nd job. But yay for you…I’m glad it was a success!
This book sounds fantastic, and like something I need to read NOW. Count me in for the drawing please!
It was truly my pleasure and my honor to review your book! Really hoping I *can* get a book club together to discuss it.
