Heartwarming Being in Walmart
To say I’m over the moon excited about our Heartwarming books being in Walmarts is an understatement. Thirty-five years ago, when I was living in big city, Houston, Walmarts were only found in small towns in the “Big Thicket” between Texas and Louisiana, my first books came out. I had no idea about how to sell a book, but my husband’s family at-the-time helped me arrange for a signing/giveaway in a Louisiana Walmart. The staff didn’t know what to do with me, so I stood near the door trying to talk to anyone who would listen about the book I’d just written. Over the years, there have been many Walmart participations and I’ve loved them all. The best part about our Heartwarming stories is that they are “safe” to recommend and buy for any family member, from granddaughter to great-grandmother. Our stories have depth, heart, emotion and the characters are so real, as a reader you feel you would “know” these people on sight. They are approachable enough to invite them over for a cup of coffee. Hang with. Share with. And that’s what ALL of Heartwarming is to me. We are a group of editors and authors who are already or are becoming friends. We share our lives, loves, frustrations and sorrows as well as joys. I believe in “happily ever after” and through Heartwarming and Walmart, we’re able to bring more of these moving stories to the people who have been searching for something touching and magical.
