News about Robin Hobb

On Saturday, author Chelsea Banning held a book signing at Pretty Good Books in Ashtabula, Ohio, to advertise her debut book, 'Of Crowns and Legends.' After nearly 40 people registered to the event but only two people turned up, she revealed her dissatisfaction on Twitter the next day. Banning confessed to being "kind of distraught" and a "little embarrassed," causing other writers to rant about their own ostensible failures. Atwood, a writer of more than fifty books, including 'The Handmaid's Tale,' recalled how she once held a book signing at which no one appeared. King, another well-selling author, told a similar tale about his first signing for his second book, 'Salem's Lot,' in 1975.' Jodi Picoult, Neil Gaiman, Robin Hobb, Cheryl Strayed, Min Jin Lee, and Jonathan Coe were among the renowned writers who came out to Banning.
