My event with Kathie Lee Gifford has been rescheduled for Wednesday December 15th from 5-6PM at Lord and Taylor.  However, I will still be there tomorrow on the 9th signing my custom Lord and Taylor New York City ornaments, tabletop, and book A Very New York Christmas. If you come on the 9th and want an Angel Blocks ornament, I can reserve it for you to be signed by Kathie Lee.

Some of the proceeds from Angel Blocks will benefit The ABC Foundation, an organization creating model programs for vulnerable children and their families designed to permanently break the destructive cycles of abuse, neglect, sickness, and homelessness.

Meet Kathie Lee Gifford and me at the signing event in New York City at Lord & Taylor, December 15h from 5-6PM.

I look forward to seeing you and wishing you all the best for a joyous season.

Michael

At my signing at Barnes and Noble on Greenwich Ave, I was asked to give a talk about my  book  A Very New York Christmas and to read from it. This was the first time I had ever done this ( I normally  just sit at the front entrance and sign copies!).

So quick on my toes, I spoke about the origin of the book, my ornaments, working in publishing, my covers, my art , and answered insightful questions from the audience. As I am  a village resident, it was exciting to do a signing there.

My next signing was at Bloomingdales- when I arrived my ornaments were basically already sold out! Very few books were left and by the end of the event, there were none left!  It was  a very busy day there and I got to see so many great people, even a  few of my friends made it.bloomies

The 10th signing was  this past Saturday at Lord and Taylor.

Most of my stock was gone, and all of my books of A Very New York Christmas were sold out!

It must be due to the amazing  review from Outblush.com

Until the next sketch!

Everyone at Borders was so helpful and they had a nice setup by the entrance.

I even had collectors from Pittsburgh track me down to get a book!

When I left it was great to see all of the trees lit up along Park Ave- In December 1945 thirty lighted Christmas trees were placed along the Park Avenue median to commemorate the New Yorkers who had lost their lives fighting in World War II.

This and other interesting information is in my book A Very New York Christmas.

Until the next sketch!
