Oh man, my …
Oh man, my condolences. I have a friend who just got published to some excellent reviews, and the publicist that her publisher provided her with is AWOL. Bookstores have advised against signings, because her genre (biography) supposedly does awful at signings — while chick lit and mystery do much better!

Congrats on the Edgar nom, by the way.

HA! I can relate. This is why we have friends descend to keep us company in case of desolate signing tables.

Oh my goodness. I’d …
Oh my goodness. I’d go with the suggestion to bring your guitar next book signing. Also, bring a laptop and play the video at your table.

It’s not just …
It’s not just authors, and it’s not just book signings. I remember listening to a radio phone-in with comedian and naturalist Bill Oddie, when nobody at all phoned in. And I had a good long chat with designer Kaffe Fassett at an exhibition where he was clearly feeling lonely because nobody was visiting his stand (I suspect nobody else even knew who he was — my gain, because I love his work).
