Fan loves my work

Hello out there,

I hope that you all are well and really blessed. I am.

I got a call from someone who purchased my books, From My Front Porch and the sequyel, Sinners Never Sleep and she told me how much she loves the books. In fact, she said she loves them so much that she would like the story to continue. What do you think. I am thinking about it tho not making any promises.

Well, my team, the Celtics lost a second game to the Heat tonight. Hope the Celtics get it together for the next four games in Boston.

I was also really proud to know that Derrick Rose, a 22 year old Bulls player is the youngest MVP in NBA's history. Congrats to Derrick Rose on his accomplishments.

Until next time, be blessed!

About to have renovations done-turning two bedrooms into one

Hello everyone,

I am excited today because the contractor came by and talked with me and my brothers about some renovations in Mama and my home. We are combining two bedrooms into one which hopefully will be a nice room where I can set up a small area as an office, or at least put my computer and desk.

Now for the good stuff, both of my books, From My Front Porch and especially the sequel, Sinners Never Sleep. I am thinking about self-publishing my next book, Looking For Mr. Tonight. If I do, it will be on the market before Christmas. Look guys, I ain't too proud to beg, to those of you who don't have my books, please go out and buy them or order from Amazon.com or one of the chain stores. Help me out here, people and in advance, I thank you..lol.

Blessings to you all.

Book Signing, Waldenbooks in Charleston on Friday and Sumter Mall on Saturday

I hadn't done a book signing in Waldenbooks in Charleston on corner of Meeting and Market Streets since last year but it was great being in that store again. I was saddened that one of my favorite managers in the Charleston stores has left. The signing went okay..It has gone better but it was such a beautiful day and there was some sort of air show going on so there wasn't much of a crowd.

My signing in Sumter went pretty good. Although, I have done a lot better here as well. The manager told me that they still sell a high number of my books so I am just greatful for everything and everyone who come out in support of me. I am still working on a number of other projects and will notify when something new is coming out. Please go out and buy or order my books online. The books are From My Front Porch and sequel, Sinners Never Sleep. Thanks so much.

Blessings to you all until next time. Love to you all!

A Beautiful Sunday Afternoon to Run Errands Or Just Relax

Hello out there,

Well, it's Sunday again and my time to spend several hours away from home to either go shopping, a drive, visit Swan Lake or whatever I want to do. Two of my brothers, Jerry and Robert, came in and took care of Mama after church today while I took some Minnie/Leigh time. When I returned home, Mama was asleep and only one brother was here. Those boys are manning up. They don't like to be here with Mama alone--simply put, one can't handle her alone.

Still relishing in the fact that my book signings over the weekend went very well. I did BookAMillion in Florence Friday afternoon and BooksAMillion in Northwoods Mall in Charleston on Saturday. I signed my books, From My Front Porch and the sequel, Sinners Never Sleep. Thanks to each and everyone of you who came out and supported me. I take nothing for granted and I love you all dearly. Until next time, Blessings to you all.

Book signings at Books A Million in Florence and Charleston

Here I go again; Often times, due to family situations, I do book signings at the spur of the moment. The stores are so gracious to me, they always keep plenty of my books on hand so that if I want to do a signing of my two books, From My Front Porch and sequel Sinners Never Sleep, I can call only days in advance and they will have me come in and do a signing. I can't thank the few stores that I do go to, enough. They even encourage customers to purchase my books when I am not there. It doesn't get any better than that.

I did a repeat signing at BAM in Florence again this Friday night and it went well. I alwo did a signing in Charleston at BAM in the Northwoods Mall. Charleston always goes well. Many thanks to all the wonderful people who support me. I simply couldn't do it without so much support. Thank God and thank you too.

For those of you who are not familiar with my books, please go out or go online and purchase From My Front Porch and Sinners Never SLeep. I would appreciate it very much.

Mama and I are going to bed now. Have a good night you all and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Book Signings in Florence, SC at Books A Million and Barnes & Noble

Hello Everyone,

Just wanted to drop a note to say I did two book signings this past weekend(both in Florence, SC. The books are From My Front Porch and the sequel, Sinners Never Sleep. I was at Books A Million on Friday and though I didn't sell as many books as I normally do at that store, I sold several dozens at Barnes & Noble on Saturday. I was pleasantly surprised that I got to meet several of my Facebook friends and their families and one of the reviewers for Rawsistaz. They were all very nice and we had wonderful talks and some of them bought books which I appreciated very much.

I took my Mama with me both days over the weekend and though I believe she got a little tired on Saturday, I could tell she was enjoying riding around in the wheel chair enjoying seeing all the people while her sitter shopped. I just want to say how accommodating the stores are with me. They don't have a problem with how long I stay. If I want to leave for a minute just to check on Mama, they don't have a problem with that. And, the nice thing is that they allows me to come whenever I want to.

I just want to thank everyone who supports me, come out and ask questions about publishing or just to talk. I enjoy it all and feel priviledge that God has put so many wonderful people in my life. Thanks to you all and I love you.

Beautiful trip to Charleston along with my mother and her sitter for my book signing at Books A Million

Hello all,

My mother and her sitter accompanied me to my book signing at Books A Million in Charleston today and it was so special having her there. We took her wheel chair and she was able to go with the sitter and shopped while I met new people, reacquainted myself with some old friends and signed some books.

There is a number of events going on in Charleston this weekend so the mall wasn't very crowded, but I did pretty well and I was grateful for the wonderful people who supported me and to the ones who said they would at a later time.

The two books that I am promoting are From My Front Porch and Sinners Never Sleep. Not only are these book wonderful, enjoyable reads, they also make wonderful gifts. Don't forget Mother's Day is coming up soon so this would make a terrific gife for all the women in your life and it is very easy shopping.Love to you all until we meet again. Blessings.

Book Signing at Books A Million/Village at Sand Hill

Hello to all you bloggers out there.

I haven't been out here for a while now. Had root canal done and was out of it for a bit but I'm on the move again. I did a book signing today at Books A Million/Village at Sand Hill and I sold all but several copies of my novel, From My Front Porch, and we sold out the sequel, Sinners Never Sleep. In additional to having former co-workers, new and old friends come out and supported me at this event, one friend whom I met several weeks ago who bought only Sinners because that was the only title we had, she went to another book store and bought Front Porch. She sent me a nice e-mail telling me how much she loved my books and she came with her family to my book signing today and bought two additional sets of my books. Marsha is wonderful and I love her. What a friend she is.

I've got other book signings coming up this week: Friday, Books A Million/Northwoods Mall/Charleston and Saturday, Books A Million/Harbison/Columbia. Please come out and join me and let's get to know each other. Also, I want to thank each and every one of you who have supported and cared about me and my mother and always ask about her. You guys are great and I love you all. Blessings to you all.

Book signings in Charleston and Sumter this weekend

Hello out there,
It's kinda late and almost time to put Mama to bed but I wanted to say hello to you and to express my profound thanks for your friendship and support. You came out this weekend in Charleston and here in Sumter, S.C. and supported me immensely. I signed both books, From My Front Porch and the sequel, Sinners Never Sleep. Please check out my website, www.leighmcknightonline.com and feel free to sign my Guestbook and share your feelings with me. Please follow me on twitter, Facebook and continue to follow my blog.

I've got a really good suggestion for a terrific novel you might want to read. Why not join me in reading Hostage of Lies by Maxine Thompson. This is a fantastic book that offers so much history. I wouldn't be surprised if this book is a required reading book in many schools. I will report back on my review of the book when I am finished. I'm getting close but don't want toe story to end.

Well good night for now and as always blessings to you.
