Last night I attended a book signing for Norman Ollestad, author of Crazy for the Storm. I was impressed. Mr. Ollestad is very much a gentleman who added depth to his story in the passages he read aloud. Though I’ve read the book, hearing him fill in the parts of both him and his father added something new for me, and I enjoyed it greatly.
When he was done with the reading, he opened a question and answer session that was both informative and entertaining. Though I was interested in his story, I was more interested in his career. With us being similar ages and he not quite a superstar in the publishing industry, and with a story that takes place roughly the same time and age as my own, I’ve been following his success with great interest. Norman did not disappoint, answering everything thrown him, with sincerity and style.
Afterward, Norman again showed tremendous class in posing for pictures, something not all celebrities do these days. I was very thankful for his encouragement and look forward to his next book.
Cheers Norman!
