    The Humor of a Book Signing

    Oh my goodness! This is a funny, heartfelt, and enjoyable short about a failing romance author who meets his biggest fan. The story is solid with some fun characters. Maty Smith cracked me up! LOL! Her confession had me in stiches when she shared her honest critique to Marvin's book! I loved how things got serious in the end. It showed that Jennifer really did have an understanding of his work. A really fun short to watch.
